" It's been such a family activity. We've had so many family members come in over the last couple of days to share in the love and support of Neal and his career. It's been unbelievable ... [Neal Shipley] probably won more new golf fans than any amateur in the history of amateurs ... We had a group of almost 30 people here, friends and family ... He's a great golfer, but he's more importantly, he's a great young man."

Neal Shipley's newest milestone fell on June 16, the same day as Father's Day. The 23-year-old's father went on to express his gratitude to his son and offered him some advice. Here is what he told the PGA Tour about his son on the occasion:

" Thanks for a great Fathers Day present I guess. And just keep being you and keep your feet on the ground, and your head on your shoulders. That's the most important thing."
