In the aftermath of the final Korn Ferry Tour Q-School, let's empty the notebook, one story at a time...
SAVANNAH, Ga. – In college at USC, Rico Hoey was nicknamed “WGD,” which stands for “World’s Greatest Driver.”
In recent years, he’s been known to family and friends as “The Boy Who Cried Wolf.”
Hoey, now 27, jokes it’s because he’s threatened to quit professional golf on more than a few occasions, only to end up on the range the next day. When he opened the final stage of Korn Ferry Tour Q-School in 2-over 73 last Friday, he glanced at the leaderboard and saw he was nearly outside the top 100.
