Kevin O'Connell re-discovers fun en route to U.S. Amateur

Posted Aug 13, 2019
For most pro golfers, it's the worst-case scenario, ditching the dream gig for a 9-to-5 life. But the step away from the game was a step in the right direction for former UNC standout Kevin O'Connell. "I started work in 2014 at Franklin Street Partners, and it was actually a breath of fresh air," admits O'Connell, a competitor in this week's U.S. Amateur. (WRAL Sports Fan)
