Enjoyable golf memory is warming up next to Jason Day at the U.S. Open at Erin Hills. States, "At the end of the day, I am a player, but I am a fan of the game and all the talents who have played it. Jason's story inspires me more than I could ever describe."

Not a lot of people know he didn't start playing golf until he was in high school.
