Did not grow up with formal lessons. Developed his game by playing with his father, Ted, who was a golf-course maintenance worker. Is a natural righthander, but would flip the clubs over and swing lefthanded to mirror his father.
Turned pro right out of high school and worked in the cart barn at Lake Diamond G&CC in Ocala, Fla., to save money for the Florida-based Moonlight Tour.
