Bio

Played collegiately at Oklahoma State, where he started as a freshman and was a two-time All-American selection. Teammates included Hunter Mahan and Pablo Martin.

Grew up playing all sports before his attention focused on golf at age 8. Made first hole-in-one at age 12.

If he weren't a golfer would want to be a F1 driver.
