Born into golf family, Summerhays tops Jin for U.S. Junior Am title

Preston Summerhays has quite the golf background.

His father is Boyd Summerhays, who played a season on the PGA Tour in 2006 before becoming an instructor whose list of players includes Tony Finau. His uncle is Daniel Summerhays, who was twice a runner-up on Tour and now plays on the Korn Ferry Tour. His other uncles, Joe Summerhays and Bruce Summerhays, are PGA professionals. His aunt, Carrie Roberts, is a former LPGA player who currently coaches the BYU women’s team. And his grandfather, Bruce Summerhays Sr., is a three-time winner on the PGA Tour Champions.

Yet 16-year-old Preston, just two days shy of his 17th birthday, likely set the new crowning achievement as far as golf goes in the Summerhays family.
