PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – It’s no secret that basketball, not golf, was Gary Woodland’s first love.
Growing up in Kansas, Woodland was part of two high school state championship teams at Shawnee Heights High School. He ended up attending Washburn University on a basketball scholarship.
But things changed early in his freshman year, and he ended up switching his focus entirely to golf after trying to guard future NBA first-round draft pick, Kirk Hinrich, in his very first game.
