| 2011: Returns to the Tour after a lengthy break. Has not played regularly since 2003. Went into retirement following the 2003 season. Has twice appeared on the Golf Channel's "Big Break" series, including "Big Break Dominican Republic" in 2011. Took advantage of that second chance, earning MVP honors for the men's side, and with that a sponsor exemption into the 2011 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. He shot 72-74 in Las Vegas and missed the cut. | |

Got seriously involved in golf after a brief, private lesson with Chi Chi Rodriguez (no relation) when he was 14 years old. The World Golf Hall of Famer continues to provide career guidance and assistance. Biggest thrill outside golf is having his two sons. Follows Texas A&M and any team that plays Texas. Follows all Dallas pro teams and the San Antonio Spurs. Favorite movie is "Tombstone." Likes to visit San Francisco and vacation anywhere tropical. Not many people know he can be seriously deep. Bucket list includes bow hunting for elk and hunting trips with his dad. Favorite quote is "Anger is the one thing you can't get rid of by losing it." |
