Grandfather John Feagler is a retired oncologist. When practicing, he performed bone marrow transplants.
His dad, Troy, and his grandfather John were instrumental in getting him started in golf.
Best golf memory is getting a hole-in-one on the opening hole of a junior tournament he was competing in at Birch Hills GC in Brea, California, when he was age 11.
Says he welcomes pressure situations and enjoys competition.
Is a big believer in sportsmanship in all sports, especially in golf.
After capturing medalist honors at the 2021 PGA TOUR Canada Qualifying Tournament, said, “I am learning to believe in my game. My takeaway? Why not me? I can do this.”
Amateur Highlights
Played five seasons at Pepperdine University (2016-21), where he was a three-time All-West Coast Conference First Team selection and helped the Wave win the 2021 NCAA Championships.
In his final match as a collegian, at the 2021 NCAA Championships, won his match against Oklahoma’s Ben Lorenz, two-putting from 35 feet on the 18th hole at Grayhawk GC. The match victory clinched the national title for Pepperdine a year after the Wave the No. 1-ranked team in the country in 2020, weren’t able to compete for a title because of the pandemic.
His four wins at Pepperdine tied a school record jointly held by Sahith Theegala, Kevin Marsh, and Jim Johnson.
Two-time medalist at the West Coast Conference Championship (2018, 2021), two of his four career college titles to go with his win at the 2018 weather-shortened Prestige at PGA West (defeated Norman Xiong by a stroke) and the 2018 Royal Oaks Intercollegiate (shared with Viktor Hovland and Matthew Wolff).
At the 2017 Royal Oaks Intercollegiate, made holes-in-one in consecutive tournament rounds. First came in the second round, on the 192-yard fourth hole at Royal Oaks CC, his 4-iron dropping in the hole. The following day, in the final round of the 54-hole tournament, hit a 7-iron from 179 yards on No. 8. Same result. A unique part of his accomplishment came with all his teammates watching as the team plays each hole at once against their opponents.
