Total respect for this young man. I had the opportunity to Golf with him at aguam a number of years ago, and not only was it enjoyable to Golf with him, but he was also very humble. I got to know his dad during that round and his dad. Just absolutely adored him. Unfortunately, his dad passed away when he was in a tournament out west. I believe was during covid.So that just upped my game to support patrick
