John Oda prefers to stay away from golf courses during winter breaks to regroup for the college season with UNLV.
Oda returned to his home in Hawaii for the holidays, but this year the Rebel junior decided to participate in a PGA Tour tournament.
“I usually like to take time off and be with my family, but I’m already a junior and I want to start looking ahead to the pro game,” Oda said. “I want to gain exposure and attract attention for myself.”
The best way to gain attention might be to make a hole-in-one, but the chances of that happening for an amateur are 12,500 to 1.
