Sean O'Hair? Who's he?

[Kilted Arab]

Please forgive an ignorant sweaty. Who is Sean o'Hair?

I did a quick google and see he's a pretty young pro...what's the story?

Thanks!

Ooh, ooh, I know this one! He was a young phenom whose overbearing father saw him as a gravy train and badgered him to turn pro at age 17 and sign a contract making his dad manager for life. He is now 21 and has shown some sparks of brilliance but mental issues from his dad's badgering and pressure have held him back. He sued his dad to got the contract invalidated, got married, and has settled down. He contended for the lead in a recent tournament, maybe even the Zurich classic here, I don't recall. I seem to remember he had it won but lost it on the last hole or two. Still a great result for him, though. He credits his wife for helping him get his head in order which has helped improve his game.

Good article, thanks Bravo.

I just checked and he is in the club house at -3, tied for 6th. Wonder if dad tortures himself by watching.

Would it be legal to draw up a contract between my and my 22 month old grandson. You know, like crowe said, just in case.

edit - By the way bd, about your custom user title, (most handsome member) it may in fact be handsome but I don't think anyone other than IG cares about your member. :biglol:
