PERSONAL

Younger sister and brother are both accomplished golfers. In 2007, his sister Alexis, at 12 years, 4 months, 1 day, became the youngest player to qualify for the U.S. Women's Open. She survived the qualifier at Heathrow (Fla.) CC to make it to Pine Needles (N.C.) CC, where he helped her in practice rounds before going to that week's Web.com Tour event. Alexis bettered the previous age mark of 12 years, 11 months, 21 days set by Morgan Pressel in 2001. Alexis turned professional in June 2010 at age 15 and in September 2011 became the youngest tournament winner in LPGA history at 16 years, 7 months, 8 eight days, winning the Navistar LPGA Classic by five strokes over Tiffany Joh. Brother, Curtis, is a member of the LSU golf team.
