Personal

• Before leading Texas A&M Aggies to a national title in 2009, when he sealed the championship with his approach shot to tap-in range on the final hole, was a frequent competitor on the Texas Junior Golf Tour's Houston circuit. Says hitting the shot to win the national championship "is by far and away the most special shot I'll ever hit in my life, probably. And the only reason why is because our team was so close and such a good group of guys, so to win it with them, it wasn't about me at all. It was about the team, and that was the coolest part."
• Watched his older brother, Brandon, also play golf at Texas A&M.
• Married his college sweetheart Katy Eudaly on April 2, 2016. Eudaly was an Aggie track and field student-athlete. The couple have two Australian Shepherd's named Briggs and Raley.
