Personal

• His uncle got him into the game at age two. He built his nephew clubs and taught him everything he knew until he got to college.
• Tries to do the same thing on every hole if he's playing well. Says if he took a drink of water before he hit a good shot, he'll do that every time until it stops "working."
• Didn't start playing college golf until he was in his senior year.

Special Interests

• Video games, traveling
