About Me
- Started Playing Golf: when I could walk
- High School: MICDS (’07)
- College: Wake Forest University (’12, BA in Economics and Minor in Religion)
- Holes in One: 3 (2 of which were in competition)
- Home Course: The Dye Preserve (Jupiter, FL)
- Favorite Golf Course I’ve Played: Pebble Beach Golf Links
- Course I want to play but never have: Old Course at St. Andrews
- Favorite Golf Memory: Holing out from 133 yards on the last hole at the 2007 US Amateur at The Olympic Club.
- 2015 Golf Goal: Win a tournament regardless of where I’m playing but to ultimately play on a tour that provides world ranking points.
- The best golf advice I’ve ever been given: You can’t hit it well enough to hide a bad short game, but you can have a good enough short game to hide a bad day of hitting it.
