Billy Horschel - PGA Tour Player

Dude can't catch a break

Never met him - he caught hell a few weeks ago for "throwing" his club at his caddie - who has not done that. ( I think that was him)

He had more one handed swing finishes in the final round yesterday than I would have in a year but he won...I woulda choked.

Regardless of his attitude, sucks for him that his wife is battling this - it is not always glitz and glamor on the PGA Tour.

people are people no matter how much or how little they have. we are all susceptible to what makes us feel better in the moment.

He's from the trashy part of Florida. You can tell he has that in him. I volunteered for the Zurich and walked with his group one year. He's a past champion and I will say he was extremely nice to all of the volunteers that were on the first tee. Called them all by name and was very concentrated on what they had to say.

Mingo, my experiences while volunteering at the Zurich with Billy were always good. Thanked us every day and carried on conversations with us each day at our tee. Most guys were like that unless they were playing like shite or hungover.

I played in the pro-am at the shell Houston open and horschel was one group Removed from ours and I saw him talking more to his amateur partners than a lot of the other pros. Before the round he was joking and laughing with a bunch of pros on the practice green and they looked like they were buds. Just from that few minutes of observing him, he seemed to be a "life of the party" kind of guy to me.
