GAINING CONFIDENCE: I was contending and started to think: OK, so my game is good enough to win. Three events later, I won. That self-confidence got me those three wins, and I'm looking for the same kind of self-belief now that I'm on the PGA Tour.WHAT IT ALL MEANS: After Elizabeth and I got married in 2012, we were living in a studio apartment, and I caddied in my spare time. That's why my success means so much to our family.With Stephen Hennessey

DRIVER

SPECS: Callaway Great Big Bertha, 9.5° (Mitsubishi Diamana S+2 70X shaft), 45 inchesTrusting my driver in pressure situations last season was a big key to my success. I'm testing Callaway's new Great Big Bertha Epic, so don't be surprised to see me start gaming that soon.

FAIRWAY WOOD

SPECS: Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 816, 14° (Graphite Design Tour AD-DI 8X, 43 inches)I put this club in play in the fall. I've used the same shaft in my 3-woods for the past three years, and I have the same one in my hybrid.

HYBRID

SPECS: Callaway Apex, 18° (Graphite Design Tour AD-DI 8X). All grips are Iomic Sticky 2.3This is my fail-safe choice off the tee. If there's a must-hit fairway, I pull this club. It's versatile, too, which is why it's been in my bag for a while.

WEDGES

SPECS: Callaway Forged prototype 50°, 54°, 58° (True Temper DG S400 shafts)In college, I ran the numbers and dumped my 3-iron for an extra wedge. I still have the same setup.

IRONS

SPECS: Callaway Apex Pro 16, 4-iron through pitching wedge (True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X-100 shafts)To my eye, these are a nice blend of blade and cavity-back.

PUTTER

SPECS: Odyssey Metal-X Milled #2, 34 inches, 350 grams, 3.25° loft, Lamkin Deep-Etched paddle gripThere's no doubt that this is my favorite club. I put it in play before the start of Web.com Tour Q school in 2015, then rode it all the way to the PGA Tour.

RED-DOT STATE
I've marked my Callaway Chrome Soft for the past two years with a red dot, an ode to South Carolina and its colors.

PLAYING CARD
When you go from having no status in 2015 to winning Web.com Tour Player of the Year in 2016, a PGA Tour credential means a lot.

MARKING TIME
I've been blessed to play Augusta National a bunch. Dreaming of playing it when it counts.

EARLY YEARS
I grew up hitting balls in my back yard and at my dad's practice facility. I've come a long way!

NO TRICKS HERE
Before last year, you probably knew me for my trick-shot videos with my brother, George (right). This ad shoot we did with Rory McIlroy was pretty cool. Now I'll be teeing it up next to him!

TROPHY HUNTING
You don't win trophies by yourself. You've got to have someone who's always in your corner. Elizabeth's support is vital to my success.
