While many of his rookie brethren made their debuts last week in Napa, Patton Kizzire was on the other side of the country - and for good reason.
The likely Web.com Tour Player of the Year spent his first week as a PGA Tour member getting married, exchanging vows with his wife Kari Oct. 17 in Georgia and postponing his first start of the new wraparound season to this week's Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.
After a season that included two Web.com wins and more than $550,000 in on-course earnings, Kizzire is fully exempt this season and has already locked up a spot in the Players Championship.
