Mother, Page, was an All-ACC golfer at the University of North Carolina. Father, Mike, is a golf professional, who played 10 PGA TOUR events between 1966 and 1988, including three U.S. Opens and three PGA Championship. His dad made three cuts, with his best performance a T28 at the 1970 Westchester Classic.

Has one brother who was a three-time all-state hockey player and an all-conference selection in golf in high school in Connecticut.

Earliest golf memory was watching his dad play in the 1995 U.S. Senior Open.

If not a golfer, would like to be a professional dancer.

Enjoys skeet shooting.

Favorite TV shows are "Modern Family" and "The Newsroom." Favorite entertainers are Mumford and Sons and Lil Wayne. Favorite food is pizza. Favorite athlete is Henrik Lundquist of the New York Rangers ("I love hockey," he says.) Favorite cities are Boston and New York.
