PERSONAL
Lists "Top Gun" as his favorite movie and considered accepting an appointment to the Air Force Academy. "Based on commitments after graduation, I knew it would hamper my golf game—flying F-16s and then trying to find time to practice.".
Biggest thrill in golf was making a 15-foot putt at the Nationwide Tour Championship in 2003 to secure his PGA TOUR card.
Favorite golf course is Pebble Beach GL. Would most like to play St. Andrews. First car was a Jeep Cherokee.
Favorite professional team is the Dallas Cowboys.
Superstitions include eating Lucky Charms cereal.
Enjoys watching shows on the Food Network.
Other favorites include the band U2, the book The Shack and Michael Jordan.
Favorite city to visit is Queenstown, New Zealand, and he likes to vacation in Cabo San Lucas.
Would round out his dream foursome with Ben Hogan, Jesus Christ and Mother Teresa.
Not many people realize that he cuts out recipes when on the road and then cooks them while at home. Bucket list includes winning a major championship, becoming a grandfather, driving fast around a speedway and reading the entire Bible.
