DUBLIN, Ohio – Florida State head coach Trey Jones spent last week focused on his team’s performance at the NCAA Championship, but not long after the Seminoles lost in the quarterfinals to eventual champion Pepperdine, he switched to another hat – travel agent.
After returning to Tallahassee, Fla., Jones needed to find a way to get star senior John Pak to Columbus, Ohio, to receive the Jack Nicklaus Award on Sunday and then back to South Carolina where he will be making his first start on the PGA Tour as a professional this week.
Luckily for Jones, and Pak, the coach had connections.
