• Favorite golf memory: Qualifying for the national tournament, in Pensacola, Fla., after winning a team playoff at regionals
• Dream vacation: Scuba diving in Australia
• Best golf shot seen live: A teammate once pitched out of knee-high fescue off a downhill lie over a bunker to 3 feet in front of a camera crew at regionals
• Best 18-hole score: I shot 66 at my home course, Brookfield Country Club, from about 5,700 yards
