Meet the Pros: Charles Pace

It’s that special time again …. we’re back with FLX Tour’s Meet the Pros!

Get a load of this guy! Today we sat down with the one and only Charles Pace. Hailing from Long Island, this nice young man attended SUNY Brockport, like many of the degerenates on Tour, and has since settled his roots in Rochester. Pace made his FLX Tour debut earlier this year and is currently ranked a respectable No. 16 in the Young Man of the Year rankings, despite missing out on this year’s Churchville Classic.

Pace is fresh off a No. 2 finish with partner Shane Driffill at the Genesee Invitational and will be a contender a the upcoming FLX Cup. When he’s not on the Tour you can find Pace watching any and all kinds of sports and usually chasing a buzz. Pace and comrade Jack Burns were famously the last men standing after Matt Driffill’s infamous bachelor party where they were glued to the couch watching the French Open final at 5:45 a.m. before departing on a brisk January walk through Rochester’s streets. Normal guy stuff.

Let’s get to know Charles!
