The video pretty much answers everything.

Seems like a class guy. I hope he does well.

I think he has made 3 out of 4 cuts on the Web.com Tour. He can play. I hope he plays well.

Now that's interesting news . .let's hope for a sponsor's exemption this fall.

Pretty sure someone pony up given the attention he'll draw...at least initially

I'd be surprised if he doesn't make a good run at it. He's very skilled, and with his abilities, he has a good chance.

I hope he does well. I'll be rooting for him.

Agreed. I'd definitely watch some of the mediocre "winter" tournaments if he's in them.

i know he has done some Web.com tournaments in the last couple years..... to focus more on trying to make the PGA tour.....  his big issue is, that he is hits the ball so long with every club he usually ends up getting himself into trouble even when he's trying not too

I think this is awesome - I hope he does well.

One question of mine that video doesn't answer, though, is what his "golf" swing looks like.  I know what his long drive swing looks like, but I presume that when he's just trying to play golf, he tones it down quite a bit???  I'm curious what that looks like.

The  drivable par 4s list on tour has been due for an upgrade for a while now.

I saw him warm up for a clinic on TV couple of years ago with a PW. Can't remember exactly but was hitting to some silly number as expected. Looks very much like his LD swing but smoother through impact. Still longer that most pro's driver back swing and there is no mistaking that full through torso rotation even from a mile. Simply spectacular.
