After winning the 1993 Monterrey Open in Mexico, gave victory speech in Spanish. Knows language because of his father's Chilean heritage.
Did not start playing golf until he was 19. Got hooked on game while attending Occidental College in Los Angeles.
Son, Olin, Jr., played golf at Pepperdine for John Geiberger, son of former PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR Champions player Al Geiberger, and was a conditional member of the 2014 Korn Ferry Tour.
His favorite team growing up was the Washington Commanders. Favorite players were quarterback Sonny Jurgensen and wide receiver Charlie Taylor.
Enjoys watching "NCIS" and football on TV and says his favorite all-time movies are "My Cousin Vinny" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Follows tennis and is a fan of Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Says his favorite meal is fresh-caught snapper–blackened. Enjoys Jimmy Buffett and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Says his most memorable shot was his 30-foot putt on the final hole at the 2011 U.S. Senior Open.
One course he's never played that he'd love to play is St. Andrews.
First concert he attended was Peter Frampton and Yes at RFK Stadium in Washington.
Enjoys getting involved with any charity that supports our military.
Bucket list includes diving with great white sharks.
