David Cooke won the Illinois Open twice and now caddies for Schenk on the PGA Tour.
PALM HARBOR, Fla. -- The final round of the PGA Tour's four-week Florida Swing was an unusual one. Taylor Moore won the Valspar Championship on Sunday, but Adam Schenk and Jordan Spieth -- paired in the final group -- created all the drama.
"David and I did about as good as we could have done with how I hit it ," said Schenk, who finished 1 stroke behind Moore in second place and one ahead of Spieth."I told David I wasn't worried about the field. I wasn't worried about Jordan. I wanted to play my game. I wanted David and I just to do the best that we could do from what we did. We did that."
Cooke, who grew up in Bolingbrook, and Schenk were golf teammates at Purdue when they were freshmen. Then Cooke transferred to North Carolina State for his final three collegiate seasons and Schenk finished at Purdue. That win was special, too, as Cooke hurried from there to his wedding and then took his new bride, Clair, to Europe where he made a short -- and unsuccessful -- bid to earn a place on the pro tour there. It was during that year that he altered his career plans.
His hookup with Schenk is a comfortable one. Schenk grew up and still lives in Vincennes, Indiana, and he remains a Hoosier at heart. His swing instructor is Anthony Bradley, at French Lick Resort, and he's represented another Indiana facility, Victoria National.
