After a stellar junior-golf career in North Carolina and four years at the University of Georgia, Brendon Todd had high expectations when he turned pro in 2007. After all, he used to drum his high school pal Webb Simpson in junior events. But when Simpson was winning the U.S. Open in June 2012, Todd was barely cracking the top 500 in the World Golf Ranking.Then Todd met Bill McInerny, a sport psychologist in Boston. "Bill has been an amazing total coach for me," Todd says. "He's instilled great practice habits and goal setting and helped me get my confidence back."About the same time, Todd started working with swing instructor Scott Hamilton, who is based in Cartersville, Ga. "Scott gave me a repeatable golf swing that helps me hit the ball in play and keeps my misses narrow."Coming in to 2014 Todd earned his PGA Tour card by maintaining a top-25 ranking on the 2013 Web.com Tour. Then last summer he broke through, winning the HP Byron Nelson Championship and tying for fifth the week after. He finished 27th on the money list with $3.4 million, and his world ranking improved to 51st. Look out, Webb.
