Most embarrassing moment on the course: when I kicked my ball accidentally in the 2001 Preview and got a one-shot penalty

If I were head coach for a day, I would: have a Ryder Cup within the team

First memory of playing golf: sneaking on to a local course with my best friend at night with his dad's clubs

The teammate who inspires me the most: Bill Haas, because he has an incredible natural talent and ability to compete

Best part of being a student-athlete: mingling with student-athletes on other teams

Best part of WFU golf: the tradition and support from past players and alumni

Funniest incident on a road trip: when Jay Morgan told Buck Williams (who was very ill) to "wait for a runner" as he leaned out the car window to be sick

First thought when meeting Coach Haas: he is the future of Wake Forest golf

Funniest teammate: Chad Wilfong, because he has a one-liner for anything
