Player Notes: Grew up on a golf course as a child as his father was director of parks and recreation for the City of Los Angeles...Was assisted in the development of his game by his brother, Tommy, a four-time winner on the PGA TOUR...His dream foursome would include his brother, Arnold Palmer and Walter Hagen, with maybe Ben Hogan thrown in to offset Hagen...Enjoys horse racing and says if he could have one job outside of golf it would be having the opportunity to call a race at a track..
