Michael Bennett, the California native who won the 2008 Forrest Wood Cup at age 24, is now officially a resident of the state of Florida. He still owns a home in the northern California city of Roseville, where he grew up, but plans to rent it out soon.
"I'll be staying (in Panama City, Fla.) throughout the year," he said. "It makes travel a lot easier – there's no sign that the (FLW) Tour will be going out West anytime soon, and Panama City's a cool town. It's where my fianceé grew up, so she has a lot of ties there.
"Life is a lot slower-paced (in his new hometown). In California, everything's quicker. There's a lot more traffic and it's always go, go, go."
