Now I'm beginning to doubt whether he is an honest true golfer or some hungry kid with underlying issues.
I play the University of Georgia Golf Course several times a year and know enough people to get some inside scoop on his time there.
I will report back to DT with my findings and share the scoop from down here in Dixie. For his sake I hope none of this is true, but now that he's out there winning, it may not matter.
But if it is true he'll have a hard time joining anyone for dinner beyond his wife. They don't "cotton" to that stuff on tour.

Even if all that stuff is true, the guy was only 19 years old when most of that stuff happened. Plenty of guys do stupid stuff when they are young. Hopefully the guy is starting to grow up. He's got a wife and a kid now. Sometimes that forces people to grow up. He seems like he's behaving himself pretty well out there right now. He appeared to be very gracious in defeat yesterday. Hopefully he has learned from his past mistakes.

Anyway, let us know what you hear. I will be curious to hear what everyone down there has to say about him.
