About Travis

 On March 15, 2022, Travis and his golf teammates from the University of the Southwest were traveling back from the Tank Logix Collegiate tournament in Midland, TX, when their commuter van was involved in a tragic head-on collision. This accident resulted in the deaths of seven individuals, including Travis, his coach, and five of his teammates, while two others were injured. 

 

Travis, who was only 19 years old, had already achieved many of his goals. In his senior year alone, he won 7 of the 8 tournaments he participated in, became the District Champion, placed 2nd at Regionals, and finished 10th in the State. His passion for golf was undeniable. A 2021 graduate of Pleasanton High School, he received a scholarship to continue playing golf for the University of the Southwest in Hobbs, NM. Travis aspired to become either a professional golfer or a DPS officer and ultimately hoped to work for the Secret Service. He grew up in both Pleasanton and Floresville, spending countless hours honing his skills on the golf courses in both towns. 

​

Travis's love for the sport was evident in his willingness to help his teammates, always wanting the best for everyone, including his competitors. He exemplified the qualities of a servant leader during his short time here, and despite his numerous accomplishments, he remained humble, which was incredibly important to him. 

 

Travis wrote "SFT" on all his golf balls, inspired by the film "Seven Days in Utopia". In the movie, the main character experiences a disastrous debut on the Pro Circuit. With the help of an eccentric rancher, he rediscovers his golf game using the principle of "SFT".
