Tyler Strafaci to skip final semester at Georgia Tech, turn pro after Walker Cup

Since winning the U.S. Amateur, Tyler Strafaci has taken the Havemeyer Trophy nearly everywhere he's gone: restaurants, golf courses, Georgia Tech's alumni tournament.

"It’s been to some pretty cool places," Strafaci said, "and it’s going to keep going to some pretty cool places."

The Georgia Tech fifth-year senior, thanks to his victory over SMU's Ollie Osborne last August at Bandon Dunes, has quite the schedule lined up for the first half of the new year. He'll play in two majors, the Masters in April and the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in June, and is exempt into the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Genesis Invitational, RBC Heritage, Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial and Memorial Tournament.
