Whatever happened to......

You mean after his collegiate play on sponsors exemptions, right? i don't think there is a way to gain status on Tour based on college results.

Yes, sponsor exemptions resulting in a win, though I don't remember the details...
 
He came out on fire and competed in numerous events then kind of just disappeared

yeah, I was sure he was going to benign that second tier of players.

He's coming off an injury, shoulder I believe. The injury kept him off the tour last year and he's slowly coming back now.

I like this guy, spent some time with him after rounds here in San Antonio at the Texas Open. Super kid!!!

Didn't realize he was hurt. Hopefully he can get back to playing regularly and compete.

Agreed, Bud is not big (about the same size as Rory) but he hits the ball like he is. He's one of the few guys who qualified for the tour with his collegiate play. I'm sure he'll be back on the tour fulltime soon.

i think he might be a little shorter than Rory, not by much but when I saw him at congressional he looked to be about my height (5'8")
 
How about Nick Watney, he was top 10 in 2011.
He was playing earlier this year but his back was bothering him. He recently just announced that he was gong to sit out the rest of the year to let it heal and hopefully avoid it nagging him for years down the road.

Michael Campbell. Wins the US Open in the middle of the Tiger Woods era, has two more top 10's in majors that year, then disappears.
Probably mentioned already, but I read a short time ago that he gave up professional golf and is focusing on coaching

Here's a few from my area...

Doug Barron- he is the pro at one of the nicer courses in the Memphis area
Shaun Micheel- mostly hangs around the Memphis area now playing with other celebs and notable people. I think I've seen his name at the FESJC and in the qualifier for the US Open held in Memphis
 
As far as thread started, I am good friends with AK and he is done with golf. He gets absurd amounts of $ to play with big time gamblers at casinos, has investments, and that insurance policy.

When I think back it's obv Ty Tryon a less known 'cant miss' was a guy named Todd Demsey. He was the one noone knew in the Taylor Made informercial with all superstars 20 yrs ago. Don't have a clue what he's doing. Tommy Tolles and Lee Janzen are older now but they seemed to be contending every week and fell off face of the earth never to be heard from again. Don't really have much in recent memory

Kim was the first that came to mind. Also thought of a couple others that have already been mention: Clampett and Tryon

I used to belong to a club in NC that Bobby was a member at, in fact he still is as am I. Nice guy, spends a ton of the time at the range and is way too analytical for his own good. He doesn't feel a game, he over analyzes it and the 8 inches between his ears are his own worse enemy
 
We had a thread a while back......where are they now? Or something like that. It was a fun one, I'll see if I can find it.

I've seen Justin Leonard here and there on Golf Channel talking golf, but golf wise, I haven't seen a lot from him lately. That's too bad, I've always liked Justin Leonard.

Here it is....fun thread to read through! Justin Leonard is even mentioned! Haha
 
New podcast released recently by GolfDigest on Ty Tryon....

Ah, the ol Anthony Kim thread
 
Ryo Ishikawa!
 
Isn’t Ryo playing Web.com
 
Exactly. Whatever happened to that next big thing?

The US tours aren’t for everyone. I wonder if he will ever gain that edge he had in Japan.

It's the million dollar question, but the dude could also just go back there and be a total Rockstar again. His following is craaaaaaazy
