The way Southern Miss' program was set up, I had the best chance of making an immediate impact. I wanted to be a factor and be able to help the team out right away. And it's a solid program with a chance to do well nationally.

Coach Johnson is from Arkansas and grew up in that area and he was able to come out and watch me. He started talking with me and recruiting me.

It's a big step. I'll be playing against the best amateurs in the world and that's big. It will help my game. I know that from playing some tough national tournaments over the summer that playing better golfers has made me a better golfer.

I want to assure the public and those who follow the criminal justice system that Mr. Sutton is not receiving any special or preferential treatment whatsoever.
