Attended St. Augustine High School in San Diego, Calif.

If not a professional golfer would be a financial adviser.

Favorite course played is Pinehurst No. 2.

Would like to play St. Andrews.

Favorite teams are the Loyola (Chicago) Ramblers, the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Lakers. Favorite movies are "Wedding Crashers" and "Scent of a Woman." Favorite entertainers are The Killers, Coldplay and Jay-Z. Favorite athletes are Kobe Bryant and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Favorite places are Park City, Utah, and Chicago.

Would like to trade places for one day with F1 pilot Sebastian Vettel.

First-tee introduction song would be "Pursuit of Happiness."

Ben Hogan, Michael Jordan and Víctor Regalado would round out his dreamed foursome.

Regalado, the only Mexican player ever to win on the PGA TOUR, used to be his instructor and remains a close friend.

Not many people know that he played baseball for 13 years.

Favorite quote is: "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?"
