030: Billy Tom Sargent – Playing Under Pressure, Battling Through Injuries

In this episode we are joined by Billy Tom Sargent (@SargentGolf10). During college, Billy Tom became the first player from Western Kentucky University to ever compete in the NCAA National Championships, where he ended up finishing t-11th. In his first year out of college he turned professional and advanced all the way from pre-qualifying to the final stage of Korn Ferry Q-School. He saw limited action in his first two years on the Korn Ferry Tour, but has battled through the second stage all three times to retain his status and is currently a member of the Korn Ferry Tour.
