Has always had this unique ability to remember every shot he’s hit
Baseball was his first passion even though he started playing golf at an early ageStopped playing golf at 8-years old and remembers starting to play golf again on his 15th birthday after his grandfather asked him if he wanted to play
He would soon be able to beat his grandfather and all of his friendsAttended Wofford College with coach Dan O’Connell
Didn’t turn pro until 2004 even though he finished college in 2001
Finally earned his PGA Tour card in 2010 and would win his first tournament (The Memorial Tournament) in 2016Well-documented story of Tiger Woods telling William that he was an idiot after Tiger heard William didn’t look at the leaderboard during tournaments
He fell in love with the challenge of always trying to improve and knowing that no one has ever mastered the game of golfWill miss the upcoming 2018-2019 PGA Tour season due to hip surgery
He believes that there are so many similarities in golf and life and that you can apply many principles to each otherWords of Wisdom from William McGirt:“When you’re not practicing someone else is.”
