Says if he didn't play golf he'd be a DJ, and his entrance song on the first tee would be "Bringing Sexy Back" by Justin Timberlake.
Picked golf because he says he could never work in an office all day.
Biggest thrills in golf include winning his first pro title and earning his Korn Ferry Tour card in 2011.
Biggest thrill outside the game was getting married.
Favorite course he's played is Carnoustie, and he'd like to play St. Andrews and Augusta National.
Always marks his ball heads up and never uses a broken tee.
Favorite apps are The Chive and Words with Friends, and his favorite websites are PGATOUR.COM and youtube.com.
Favorite teams include Texas Tech, the Denver Broncos and Miami Heat, and he enjoys watching Michael Phelps and LeBron James.
Liked to watch "Eastbound & Down," when it was on. Also likes "Modern Family" and "Tosh.O." His favorite movie is "The Hangover."
Enjoys Thai and Indian food, as well as Australian barbecue, and his favorite restaurants are Fogo de Chao and Lemongrass.
Top gadgets include his iPad and iPhone, and his twitter account is @steakwise.
Carries peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in his golf bag for a snack.
Would round out his dream foursome with his father and two brothers.
Bucket list includes playing in the Masters with his family there to watch. Would also like to travel the world.
Would like to trade places with actor Channing Tatum for a day.
