| Personal | | After college, gave up golf for four years to work with his father in the family clothing business. During that period, athletic focus was on flag football, softball, tennis and racquetball. Return to golf was sparked by 1991 visit to Raley's Senior Gold Rush, the Champions Tour event at
Rancho Murieta, CA. After watching event, went home and built long putter in garage. Nearly won U.S. Mid-Amateur with homemade model later that year. Used more sophisticated version to win his three TOUR titles...In August 1999, made hole-in-one during first round of CVS Charity Classic immediately following ace by Lee Janzen on 17th hole at Rhode Island CC. |
