Rookie Hickok uses history to adjust quickly at Riviera
LOS ANGELES – Learning new courses on the fly is part of life for PGA Tour rookies but this week at the Genesis Open Kramer Hickok does have a bit of history at Riviera Country Club.
Hickok was a freshman on the University of Texas golf team in 2012 when the NCAA Men’s Championship was played at Riviera. Although he didn’t play that week he was on property to celebrate the Longhorn’s victory
“I remember Dylan Frittelli making a 30-footer to win the national championship and running to jump on him,” Hickok recalled on Friday after completing his rain-delayed opening round.
