The duo started working together in November 2021. âBasically, a friend of mine approached me and said, âYouâre about to receive a phone call from a really good player,ââ Scott said in Full Swing season 3. âThis guy is really good. Like really good.â I had never really met Scottie other than that we played with him in the New Orleans tournament and I saw that he was kind of fiesty, you know? That was one of the questions that I asked him when he called me.â
He continued, âI said, âI donât know if I want to work for you because of your attitude.â When I posed that question to him, he said, âThatâs a fair question and Iâm willing to work on it.â All I need is a little bit of hope and Iâm willing to get behind anybody. So I decided to take the job and here we are.â

His personality is such that itâs hard not to like him with that sense of humor. And he works hard. Thereâs no pretension about him.â

Heâs humble. Heâs hard-working. Heâs honest. Heâs a good time to be around. Heâs an amazing guy. To be able to have him on the bag is so special.â
