LUKE LIST QUICK QUOTES
On his longest drive: “It was in Miami at a Web event, and it hit the cart path four or five times, so it’s like 415 (yards) or something.”On favorite actor Larry David doing his Bernie Sanders impersonation: “It’s scary how spot-on it is. It doesn’t get any better than that guy. I loved ‘Seinfeld,’ and the fact he’s doing that on SNL is pretty incredible. The guy is so talented.”On Vanderbilt football and an over/under of 4.5 wins for 2016: “I’ve got to go over. There has been a little lull since James Franklin left, but I think they have a tremendous squad. It’s a tough conference, but they’ve got all the intangibles there to keep building things the right way. I’ll go with .500 and a bowl game.”
Former Baylor School and Vanderbilt University golfer Luke List never has had more to juggle, both personally and professionally.
If recent results are any indication, he’s handling things beautifully.
List finished tied for 10th this past weekend at the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., after tying for 20th the week before at the Northern Trust Open in Los Angeles. The 31-year-old has earned $442,247 on the PGA Tour in 2016, making this his most successful season since turning pro in 2007.
“Obviously I’ve had good results already, and that’s kind of attributed to several different things,” List said. “When I was on the PGA Tour in 2013, I was going through a couple of swing changes and fighting an injury and just wasn’t playing my best golf. You can lose some confidence quickly out here when you’re missing a lot of cuts, and I feel like I’m much more mature now on and off the course.
