Wow, what a great interview. I remember caddying in that US Junior at Brooklawn, my player did not make match play. I was only 15 at the time, but that tournament was a huge springboard for Junior Golf in Connecticut/Met area. I remember that the Brooklawn membership was hugely invested in making that event a success, certainly could not have been done without the tireless work of Giles Payne and Paul Hiller. Was lucky enough to work at Brooklawn as an assistant myself a few years later. I didn't know that he was part of of one of my favorite courses, Saratoga National either! Congratulations to all the success that David has had during his career, he was a heck of a champion and has done some great things for the game.

David once again shows his humble and grateful personality. Playing golf with David is always a positive experience, but his friendship means the most to me. Frankly, David reminds me of Arnold Palmer, who was always kind and gracious to everyone he spoke with. David is not only a credit to the PGA of America, but to the golfing world as well.
