Bio

Is the first player in TOUR history to win on PGA TOUR Canada, the Korn Ferry Tour and the PGA TOUR.

Got his start in golf at age 7 when his parents brought him along to the driving range instead of hiring a babysitter.

Dream as a child was to play in the NHL.

Was a standard bearer in Mike Weir's group at the 2004 RBC Canadian Open, shortly after he won the Masters.

Favorite pro teams are the Toronto Maple Leafs, Cleveland Cavaliers, Carolina Panthers, and the Toronto Blue Jays.

Favorite college team is the Kent State Golden Flashes.

Dream foursome would include "Messrs. Hogan, Nicklaus and Woods".

Motto is "Success is never owned. It is rented, and the rent is due everyday."

Dislikes anything with chocolate in it.
