Personal

Is an accomplished drummer and classical guitarist.

Attended Woodleigh High School in Melbourne.

Has one sister.

Mother is a Federal Court Judge in Australia.

Says he picked golf over other sports because he wasn't tough enough for some of the other sports he enjoyed.

If he wasn't playing golf for a living he says he'd be a music producer.

Favorite courses he's played are the composite course at Royal Melbourne and Augusta National and would like to play Pine Valley and Royal Birkdale.

Always marks his golf ball on the green with Australian coins and carries a "Karl the Koala" headcover.

Favored the Richmond Tigers Australian football team growing up and now follows the Georgia Bulldogs and the Australian Test cricket team.

Says he'd like to trade places with the President of the United States for a day just to see how hard the job is.

Would round out his dream foursome with pro surfer Kelly Slater, actor Mark Wahlberg and Aussie golfer Nathan Green.

Says not many people know he used to be as good on the drums as he is at golf.

Favorite saying is "There are no ordinary moments," which is tattooed on his chest.

Amateur Highlights

Won the Dunes Medal in 2008, an event in Australia, and set two course records in the process, shooting a 64 and then bettering it with a 63.

Was named Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year in 2009 and made second-team All-SEC.

Won the Australian Amateur Stroke Play and the New Zealand Amateur Stroke Play in 2009.

In 2010, represented his country for the Eisenhower Trophy.

Earned a playing spot in the 2012 Masters Tournament after winning the 2011 British Amateur. Defeated Scotland's Michael Stewart, 3 and 2, in the championship match, giving him the distinction of being only the second Aussie (Doug Bachli in 1954) to win the event. He also became the second University of Georgia player to win the British Amateur (Vinny Giles in 1975). In the Masters, missed the cut then withdrew from school and turned professional, forfeiting his chance to play in The Open Championship.

During his junior season at the University of Georgia, finished second at the Adams Cup and counted two other top-10s during the season.
