KNIGHT ON OH: “James is probably one of the most accomplished players I’ve ever been around at this point in his life. He has a real knack for playing each shot no matter what kind of round it is. He gets more out of every shot than anybody I’ve ever seen and really enjoys that challenge. I wouldn’t be surprised for him to win a few times this spring individually.”
