Carlos Ortiz

Enjoys steak, sushi and Japanese food.

Biggest thrill in golf is the adrenaline he gets in competition.

Big fan of Real Madrid.

Dream foursome would include Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.

His favorite vacation spot would have beaches or skiing.

Enjoys "Two and a Half Men" and the movie "The Untouchables."

Says he would probably be a businessman if he were not playing golf.

Favorite athlete in another sport is Roger Federer.

Grew up in Guadalajara, Mexico, playing at Guadalajara Country Club, the same home course where LPGA great Lorena Ochoa grew up playing. Is 10 years younger than Ochoa but recalls the work and dedication she put in on the range every day.

Started to play golf with his father as a youth and picked golf over other sports because "it is the most challenging sport to play."
