You've probably heard the joke where someone says "Where's the first tee? What's the course record?"

As a part of our “Tournament Talk” series, AmateurGolf.com founder Pete Wlodkowski chatted with Alex about his historic round, his golf game, and his return to Druid Hills for the 2020 Dogwood Invitational.
