PGA TOUR Champion

As of 2021, he has four official PGA TOUR victories: Shriners Hospital for Children Open (2017), the Zozo Championship (2020) and The Memorial Tournament (2019, 2021). Patricka also earned a spot to represent the winning United States team in the 2019 Presidents Cup Team in Melbourne.

Patrick now resides in Jupiter, Florida; regarded as highly intelligent and a lifelong learner, he is an avid reader and enjoys all sorts of fitness. Patrick is excited about building plans for a charitable platform to help grow the game of golf in 2020.
