When you read this year's RSM Classic winner's name, Talor Gooch, you may think there's a typo, but there's not. His first name is intentionally y-less thanks to a family custom.
"My mom's side of the family just spelled names weird and so they just wanted to keep the tradition going," Gooch, who notched his maiden PGA Tour win on Sunday, said after Round 2 on Sea Island. "Nothing special other than they just wanted to make life hard on me, I guess. It's a pain in the butt a little bit."
But the tradition isn't exclusive to Talor.
