Omar Uresti has gone from an obscure, little-known PGA Tour player to a full controversial PGA Professional in a very short amount of time. But through everything that's happened to him, Uresti's just a guy who wants to play golf for a living.
Full disclosure: My journey into the professional golf world all started because of Omar. At a Tuesday practice round in Hilton Head, South Carolina, in 1998, he struck up and conversation with me on the 11th tee and we've been friends ever since. We've laughed together (a lot) -- and we've cried together, too.
