How Well Do You Know Your PPA Pros? Spot the Lie

The PPA Tour is stringing together back-to-back tourneys with the Takeya Showcase in Fountain Valley, Calif. starting Thursday. We caught up with a few of our PPA pros who make the Sunshine State their home.

For funsies, we asked them to tell us a few things about themselves – two statements that are true and one that’s a lie.

See if you can guess the lie.
