“Like a lot of things with this game, sometimes things don’t just happen the first time around for me," Hicks said in a written statement. "And hopefully this time, I will be a little bit more knowledgeable about what to expect and hopefully my results will take care of themselves.”
Hicks played collegiate golf at University of Michigan and earlier this summer he played in the U.S. Open.
