DID YOU KNOW

PERSONAL

Comes from a golf family.

His older brother, Boyd, is a past PGA TOUR and Web.com Tour member, while his uncle Bruce Summerhays was a Champions Tour player and his cousin Carrie Roberts is a former LPGA player who is now the head women's golf coach at BYU.

Lists his dad and brother as his heroes. Got his start in golf from his dad.

Served a two-year Mormon mission from June 2003-June 2005 in Santiago, Chile, and is fluent in Spanish.

Cites winning the 2007 Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational as his biggest thrill in golf. Was a member of the Davis High School (Kaysville, Utah) state championship basketball team.

Is an avid ping-pong player. Says changing his children's diapers is no problem since he has more than 20 nieces and nephews.

With his Spanish-language background, considered himself part of the Web.com Tour's "Latin Federation," which at the time included Miguel Angel Carballo, Sebastian Fernandez, Fabian Gomez and Esteban Toledo. Says he understands Chilean slang perfectly but "Argentine or Mexican slang words are a little different.".

Lists Cafe Rio in Salt Lake City as his favorite restaurant.

His most-memorable Christmas present was the first set of Ping Eye-2 beryllium irons he received when he was 12.

Always uses an orange ball mark.

Favorite websites are PGATOUR.COM and espn.com.

Favorite pro team is the Utah Jazz. Likes to visit Monterey, Calif., and Hawaii. Carries beef jerky and trail mix in his golf bag to eat while he's playing.
