It’s been an exciting week for
Team
RSM! On June 15, RSM announced that the
firm has added Davis
Love IV (Dru), Team RSM Member Davis
Love III’s son, to Team RSM through calendar year 2018. Dru played on the
University of Alabama golf team, and recently turned pro as he received word he
qualified for his first U.S. Open as an alternate from the Georgia sectional
qualifier. Dru made his second start in a PGA TOUR-sanctioned event, after playing
in the 2015 RSM Classic (and official PGA TOUR FedEx Cup event) at Sea Island.
Dru is the third generation from his family to play the U.S. Open. Equally as exciting was having his father and host of The RSM Classic Davis Love III, make his 24th appearance in the U.S. Open, only this time, he was caddying for his son.
“I’m honored to have the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of my father and grandfather as a professional PGA TOUR player,” said Dru. “I’m excited to join the RSM family. I’ve gotten to know the RSM team through their sponsorship of the RSM Classic and I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of Team RSM, joining my dad, Chris DiMarco, Zach Johnson, Paul Lawrie and Andy Sullivan. It’s a great team, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it!” Learn more here.
