re: 36 year old financial advisor from Pittsburgh is in final 8 at US Am

Smith is no average "financial advisor." He's a 4 time US MidAm champ, a former Walker Cup player, and has played in the Masters 4 times. Still, good for him for competing with all of these young guns.

For the past 2½ years, Smith has been an integral part of Executive Wealth Counselors in Pittsburgh. And while his arrangement with that firm is somewhat unique, it’s certainly not one that has given him an unrestricted free ride.
“Because of Nathan’s personality, his thoughtfulness, his acerbic humor, he is what we refer to as a relationship manager and that’s something you can’t put a dollar figure on,” said Fred Gustave, a partner at Executive Wealth Counselors and one of Smith’s good friends. “Bottom line is he’s a great golfer, but he’s even a better person.”
