SHARE THIS STORY

Patton Kizzire has, in short order, become a two-time PGA Tour winner, taking the 2017 OHL Classic in Mexico before winning the 2018 Sony Open in Hawaii in a playoff to nab a pair of trophies in the space two months.

Kizzire, who played his collegiate golf at Auburn, is tall and long, but he has one of the best putting strokes in the world. He can do it all, and he does it with a laid-back demeanor that makes him perfect in crunch time.

However, Patton Kizzire is extremely passionate about golf. It's the thing that gets him going. So, in his new Secret Golf Player Channel, Kizzire's passion for the game comes through as he shares what he does to make golf look easy on the biggest professional stage.
