“I can hit a lot of drivers, be aggressive, and attack from the fairway.”
“When I got hurt and had surgery on my left shoulder, my arm was in a sling for over a month but I could play Ping-Pong right-handed. I started playing and got addicted.”

“My grandfather was in the military, and I've been part of the Folds of Honor Foundation since 2009, so having the opportunity to wear Puma's Volition America collection is the perfect fit for me.”
“You just have to drive it in the fairways. If you miss fairways, it's easy to make big numbers.”
“My dad never forced me to do anything. But if I did it, if I decided to go play catch or basketball, he was hard on me. You had to do it the right way if you were going to do it. He never let me win.”
“I know what it takes to win.”
“I rely on my ball striking more than anything.”
“I like to play aggressively, and it just lets me go for even more shots.”
“There's men and women who sacrifice and do so much for us so I can go out and play a game of golf and live my life under freedom.”

“I'm a huge sports guy, so getting messages from guys I grew up watching and following - Scott Van Pelt, Chris Paul, Charles Barkley, Adam Schefter - was really special.”
“I could handle the basketball but I wasn't quick enough to move defensively. Offensively, I was fine. I could get around, I could do stuff, but defensively I wasn't quick enough. I couldn't keep up. That was the biggest thing. And that was at the Division II level.”
“Obviously I rely on my driving.”
“I've never played Cypress. And everybody says it's amazing. That's one course I'd like to play.”
“I come from Kansas; we're steak-and-potato boys. I grew up on meat.”
“I can control my attitude, and I can control my game.”
