Personal

• Making two holes-in-one on the same day is his favorite golf memory. Race-car driver Ayrton Senna and tennis' Roger Federer are his favorite athletes outside of golf. Tiger Woods is his favorite golfer, and Woods, Seve Ballesteros and Ben Hogan would round out his dream foursome.
• River Plate is his favorite professional team. Argentina bands Callejeros and Don Osvaldo are his favorite musicians. Favorite course he has played is Torrey Pines GC in La Jolla, Calif. "The Fast and the Furious" franchise is his top movie choice. Personal motto is "Persevere and you will triumph."
