Personal
If not a professional golfer, would still be working in a job somehow related to golf.
His biggest thrill in golf is the pressure he faces at the end of a tournament. Favorite golf memory is playing golf with his father as his home club. "I remember trying to hit a driver over a pond as hard as I could from the ladies' tees when I was young, and as soon as I got it over my dad made me move back a tee."
First-tee entrance song would be "The Stone" by the Dave Matthews Band. "Caddyshack" and "Tin Cup" are his favorite movies.
Michael Jordan is his favorite athlete outside of golf. Supports all the Philadelphia-area teams, the Eagles, Phillies, 76ers and Flyers. A good steak is his favorite meal. The Philadelphia Phillies winning the 2008 World Series is the best sporting event he has attended.
Uses U.S. quarters from 1965 to 1967 to mark his ball on the green.
Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus would round out his dream foursome. Bucket list includes traveling around the world and playing the world's top golf courses.
