Q & A with...Cory Whitsett!

What is the best thing about playing in your hometown during this weekend's Houston Boys Invitational at Redstone presented by HP and Administaff?

C: The best thing about playing at home is being able to sleep in your own bed at night.

What are some of your pre-round routines or traditions?

C: I don't really do anything special. I just try sticking to my regular routine as usual.

Mint chocolate chip or chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream?

C: Definitely chocolate chip cookie dough. Mint chocolate chip is terrible!

The best thing about living in Houston is...

C: The weather during the winter. But I need to be careful. It looks like we may not be in for a good one!

If you could trade places with anyone (living or dead) for a day, who would it be and why?

C: John D. Rockefeller. I am just so fascinated with those guys that were entrepreneurs.

What is the best family vacation you have ever taken and why?

C: The best family vacation we have taken was a fishing trip on the Texas coast because it was so relaxing. I got to fish and no one wanted anything from me.

Do you have any siblings?

C: I have three younger sisters. The best part about being the oldest is that I am put in control a lot of the time. That's good sometimes, but not all the time!

Aside from golf, what's your favorite sport to watch? What is your favorite team and player?

C: I love college football and my favorite team is the Oklahoma Sooners. I mainly like them because my parents went there, but they are also really good. My favorite player is DeMarco Murray, who is their running back.

What is a secret talent that you possess?

C: I have a quickly improving skill in the game of ping pong!

What was the last book you read and was it for school or for fun?

C: I read Pride and Prejudice.It was about a mom trying to marry off her daughters. It definitely was not a book I read for fun.
