Well, that didn’t last long.
John Peterson, the former NCAA individual champion and PGA Tour player who last year retired from pro golf at age 30, has decided life in real estate isn’t as exciting.
Peterson told ESPN Radio Baton Rouge on Wednesday that he was inspired by watching the Masters, particularly Tiger Woods’ victory and Patrick Cantlay’s strong play, and quit his job immediately. He teed it up in a Monday qualifier this week for the Web.com Tour’s Dormie Network Classic at Briggs Ranch in San Antonio but didn't qualify.
"Sometimes you've got to take a step back to realize what you had," said Peterson, who was a three-time All-American at LSU and won the 2011 NCAA individual title.
