One of five siblings; brother, Cole, is a master sergeant in the U.S. Air Force.
Grandfather was a champion professional boxer.
Attended South Gwinnett High School in Snellville, Ga.
Was 2004 Academic All-Conference in college.
Earliest golf memory was playing the "Fricke Open" with father and brother the Friday after Thanksgiving.
Father caddied for him when he won the 2012 Georgia Open.
Biggest thrill outside golf was seeing his father beat cancer. Also lists his first professional win on the Tarheel Tour as a big thrill in golf. In that tournament, his dad–who had just finished chemotherapy treatments–was his caddie.
If not a professional golfer, would be doing something in Major League Baseball.
Would choose "Rain When I Die" by Alice in Chains if he had an entrance song at the first tee.
Favorite courses played are Winged Foot GC, Mountain Top GC and Kinloch GC. Hopes to play Augusta National someday.
Superstition is using quarters for ball marks with his little sisters' years of birth.
Favorite athletes are Chipper Jones, John Smoltz and Kris Medlan. Favorite apps are Meme Maker, V1 Golf and Shazam. Favorite TV shows are "Criminal Minds" and "NCIS." Favorite movies are "Zero Dark Thirty," "Act of Valor" and "The Count of Monte Cristo." Favorite vacation spot/cities are Charleston and Hilton Head Island, S.C. Favorite teams are the University of Georgia and the Atlanta Braves.
Would like to trade places with Frank Wren or Fredi Gonzalez "to make decisions for the Braves."
Not many people know he loves music and tried to teach himself how to play the guitar, which is still on his bucket list.
Supports charity Operation One Voice.
Would like to be in Sports Illustrated, which would "mean I've done something great in golf."
Dream foursome would include his father, step-father and brother.
