Matt Atkins
Personal
Graduated from Apollo High School in Owensboro, Ky. in 2009.
Earliest golf memory was playing with his dad for the first time, hitting a tee shot down the middle of the fairway and chasing after it to hit the next shot.
Turned to golf knowing "every time you walk off the course you feel like you could have done better at something."
Favorite course is Palmetto GC in Aiken, S.C.
Favorites include Chick-Fil-A for breakfast, "chick flicks" and heart-warming movies, desserts, The Bible, and Charleston, S.C.
Motto is "We're far worse than we ever imagined, and for more loved than we could ever dream."
Amateur Highlights
From 2013 to 2015 played on the eGolf Tour and NGA Tour/Swingthought Tour, winning the Carolina Pro Series event at Brunswick Plantation in 2013, defeating Joe Young by two shots.
Named Apollo High's 2008-09 Wendy's High School Heisman winner.
Earned Division II All-American honors in 2012 and 2013 at University of South Carolina-Aiken.
Voted Peach Belt Conference Player of the Year in 2013.
