 Personal
Got his start in golf at age 6 when he caddied for his father. Teeing off in his first Australian tournament is his biggest thrill in golf. In 1999 at age 17, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and was confined to his bed for nine months while undergoing
chemotherapy treatments at the Royal Children's Hospital. It took another 12 months before he had the energy to walk a golf course again. Forged a friendship during that time with PGA TOUR member Robert Allenby.
