school
I was born in Massachusetts. I live in Stillwater. I went to school in Florida.
definitely experience loved miss time
I loved my time at OSU. It was unbelievable experience, and I'm definitely going to miss it.
I had always wanted to see the world, and the PGA Tour was always going to be there.
mind
I don't mind playing or watching a movie or sitting down.

I did some traveling as an amateur and always loved the different places I saw.

As long as you can find a place to develop as an all-round player, then you're doing great.
attend dad england florida half hard move
When I was 13, I told my dad I wanted to move to Florida to attend the IMG Academy. I wanted to be a golfer, and that's hard to do in New England where I could only practice half the year.
bowls fan grew huge series sports super won
I grew up in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and I'm a huge Red Sox fan. I've probably been to Fenway 40 times. I've been pretty lucky as a sports fan because the Patriots have won Super Bowls and the Red Sox have won World Series during my lifetime.
becoming might player sets
It's all about becoming a more well-rounded player and not a one-dimensional player. You might hear someone say, 'Hilton Head sets up well for them.' I don't want that stereotype.
biggest difficult front major people setting
The biggest thing was just getting comfortable out there in front of all the people and just the whole major setting and how difficult major championships are, how patient... you have to be.
chance check gets good life love time
I try to go out, check out the town, and have a good time. It's a life experience: not everyone gets the chance to see the world and play golf, do the thing you love while travelling.
east european korea plays south southeast tour
The European Tour plays all over the world: from the U.K. to China, from Korea to South Africa, and from the Middle East to southeast Asia.
Playing with Phil Mickelson, it doesn't get any better than that.
Name me one golfer that doesn't get frustrated.
