Inan interview withGolf Digest, Patrick revealed that he first connected with Justine when he was a freshman at the University of Georgia — although he wasn’t pursuing Justine at the time. He actually went on a date with Justine’s younger sister Kris, who was visiting from LSU. When he didn’t hear back from her after their date, he reached out to Justine on Facebook.
The couple got married at 22 over the objections of his parents, who felt they were too young to tie the knot. (They have been estranged from his family since.)
