Jaron Leasure is a 15-year-old living in Virginia Beach, Va., who has moved around a bunch with his father's military career. That hasn't stopped Leasure from becoming an accomplished golfer who secured a spot in the Drive, Chip and Putt national finals in his last year of eligibility.
Leasure talks about what it means to participate in the competition and what it means for his game moving forward that he'll have been in the spotlight at Augusta National.
