If you could put together your dream foursome for an 18-hole round of golf, who would it be and where would you play?

My dream foursome would include Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and Michael Jordan at Augusta National Golf Club.

If you could invite anyone — living or from the past — to spend a weekend with you at Centre, who would it be and why?

I would invite Bobby Jones because I would love to play a round of golf with him and he is also an SAE like me. 

When you get frustrated on the golf course, what keeps you from losing your poise/cool?

When I get frustrated on the course while we are playing a tournament, I keep my cool by telling myself I can’t let my teammates think I am struggling so they don’t feel pressure.

Ten years from now, what do you hope to be doing?

Ten years from now I would like to be doing some type of corporate analysis or investment banking, and ideally I would like to return to my hometown, Nashville, to do this.
