DID YOU KNOW

PERSONAL

Says becoming the first aboriginal pro golfer and graduating to the PGA TOUR in 2012 are his biggest thrills in golf. Is the first player of aboriginal descent to have full status on the TOUR. His mother is aboriginal and his father is Scottish. Notes the birth of his son is his biggest thrill outside the game.

Never travels without his flip-flops.

First car was a Mitsubishi Colt.

Kingston Heath is his favorite course and would like to play Augusta National. Favorite teams are the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Dallas Cowboys. "The Mentalist" is his favorite TV show and "As Good As It Gets" is his favorite movie. Favorite book is King of the Cowboys, and Mick Jagger is his favorite entertainer. Rome, Italy, is his favorite city to visit, and the Gold Coast of Australia is his favorite vacation spot.

Always carries a quarter in his pocket.

Would add his dad to his dream foursome, and his bucket list includes attending another Rugby League game in person.

Was a competitive discus thrower when he was younger.
