Cary Cozby first visited Southern Hills in 1977 for the US Open. Forty-five years later, Cary is the Director of Golf at the famed Parry Maxwell layout. Our host professional for the 104th PGA Championship is the son of a legendary PGA Professional. Jerry Cozby was awarded the Golf Professional of the Year in 1985 by the PGA of America. In 2016, Cary earned the Association's highest distinction himself. They are the only father-son to have earned this great honor.
An All-American at the University of Oklahoma, Cary can play as well as run a first-class golf operation. I spoke with Cary last week for about thirty minutes. The audio interview linked here is the summary of our conversation covering the course, what to expect from the competition, and caddying for Tiger Woods two weeks ago.
