“I am excited to get started with the Pennsylvania Golf Association this summer, and I hope to expand the PAGA's reach so we can grow the game throughout the state. I would like to thank Mark Peterson, Neil Gilman and Annie Vanzant for considering me for this role and I can't wait to get to work,” said O’Brien, 20, Pittsburgh, Pa.

Matt Field comes to PAGA as a part of the United States Golf Association’s P.J. Boatwright Jr. Internship Program.
