Got his start in golf playing with his dad and friends on the Alondra Park GC, a par-3 course near his home in Redondo Beach, Calif.

Says his biggest thrills outside golf were getting married, graduating from Arizona State and becoming an uncle.

His lucky charm is a ballmark his wife gave him the day they were married in 1996.

Favorite golf courses are Riviera CC and Pebble Beach GL.

Was a surfer and skier growing up and did not start playing golf until after high school.

His heroes are his parents and his wife.

Says if he weren't playing golf for a living he'd enjoy being behind the camera in the movie industry.

Favorite athletes are Nolan Ryan, Magic Johnson and high jumper Dick Fosbury.

Some of his friends on Tour are Kirk Triplett, Jeff Hart and Jeff Brehaut.
