In a tragic accident as a child, nearly died at age 2 having mistakenly drank rat poison from a Coca-Cola can, which resulted in a stammer. Was diagnosed with severe anxiety at age 4. As an amateur in 2015, was banned from golf after a drug test revealed that medication he was using for anxiety and his stammer included a substance which was illegal in the sport. His ban was reduced to nine months following a hearing which determined he had not used the substance for performance-enhancing purposes.

Turned professional in 2015, amassing 10 professional wins over his decade as a pro, earning two Presidents Cup appearances (2022, 2024) representing the international team.
