Meet Matt, a dentist from Indianapolis who has a remarkable story to tell. Not only did he caddy at Oakmont and play in the U.S. Amateur, but he's now gearing up for the U.S. Open. Balancing his dental practice with his passion for golf, Matt shared the challenges of preparing for such a prestigious tournament. Despite the fast-paced nature of qualifying on Monday and playing on Thursday, he's excited for the opportunity that lies ahead.
Having spent considerable time at Oakmont, Matt discussed the unique setup of the course, especially when it becomes firm, presenting a whole new set of challenges for the players. Reflecting on his high school basketball days and his foray into long drive competitions, Matt highlighted the dedication and hard work that went into improving his game. With impressive ball speeds and a drive to learn from the pros, Matt is ready to take on the competition at the U.S. Open.
As Matt prepares to tee off at the U.S. Open, he carries with him the memory of his late father, who was a significant source of support and inspiration. With his family by his side, including his wife, baby daughter, and his mom filling in for his dad, Matt feels a sense of gratitude and pride as he embarks on this incredible journey.
