He has five PGA Tour wins to his name but has never been in contention for a major, until now.
He is known for his incredible putting and, according to ESPN, is great friends with Scottie Scheffler.
A glance at his Instagram, where he has 127,000 followers, suggests he likes deer hunting and has played golf with Donald Trump (before his second term as president).
