With a self-described body by Waffle House and a slew of other memorable lines, Neal Shipley became a fan favorite on the third season of Netflix’s “Full Swing.” As he put it, he’s “just an average Joe who happens to play golf a little better than the average guy.”
He played better than everyone at the Korn Ferry Tour’s Lecom Classic on Saturday in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, shooting a final-round 64 at Lakewood National Golf Club and sinking a 38-foot birdie putt on the fifth playoff hole to beat Seungtaek Lee and earn his first professional victory.
