SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Harold Varner III’s father, Harold II, took away his PlayStation when he was 14 years old.
“I was on it all the time,” Varner said.
Recently, the 28-year-old Varner bought another video game console and has been hooked on Call of Duty. So much so that after firing an opening 7-under 64 Thursday at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, Varner was excited to get back to his rental home and fire up the PlayStation.
“I got a win last night; that's what I was really pumped about,” Varner said.
Varner’s gaming skills don’t come anywhere close to his abilities on the golf course, though.
