Sean O’Neal

Presbyterian School rising seventh grader Sean O’Neal (pictured) goes to the golf course seven days a week, and also spends time putting in his room and chipping in his backyard. He had his first set of golf clubs at age 2, and he continues to love the sport, playing at Lochinvar Golf Club, Braeburn Country Club and Comanche Trace. During the last year, Sean has played in many Southern Texas PGA junior tournaments, as well as school tournaments with the Presbyterian golf team. He shot 78 and finished first in his age group at a tournament at Comanche Trace in Kerrville, which qualified him to compete in the fall series STPGA championship in Austin. Sean hopes to pass along his golf enthusiasm to his newborn sister, and looks forward to the day he can teach her how to play.
