Sam Saunders left college early to turn pro and wasn’t having success, so he went back to his roots.  Saunders decided to seek out advice on how to manage his game from his grandfather.  That’s not too unusual, especially one who brought him into the game.  But not everyone’s grandfather is Arnold Palmer.

Saunders worked with Palmer before the Bob Hope Classic, and while the instruction was far-reaching, the advice was simple. Palmer told him to find his own style, and don’t listen to anybody else but him.

Saunders then tied for 17th at the Honda Classic and earned $68,000, which was more than Palmer’s biggest paycheck in his entire PGA Tour career. And Palmer gave his grandson an exemption to this week’s…Arnold Palmer Invitational.
