    Personal

    Avid University of Kentucky basketball fan.

    Started playing with ladies' set because he couldn't find any other left-handed clubs.

    Son, Ryan, scored hole-in-one at age 6, one of youngest ever to record ace. Ryan shot 67 in Monday qualifier for 1998 FedEx St. Jude Classic, missing playoff for final tournament spot by one stroke. Also a left-hander, Ryan is on a golf scholarship at the University of Florida. Youngest son, Case, played golf at Texas A&M. Middle son, Reed, is a student at the University of Kentucky Law School.

    Enjoys the TV show "The Mentalist." Also enjoys any Clint Eastwood Western. His favorite meal is barbecue and cornbread. One talent he'd most love to have is to be able to sing. Favorite athlete in another sport is Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints.

    First job he had was mowing lawns.

    One course he'd love to play is Old Head GL in Ireland.

    Says his most memorable shot was his 35-foot birdie putt at No. 16 at Cog Hill during the Western Open in 1991.

    His bucket list includes attending tennis' U.S. Open and traveling to South America.
