AJ McInerney - Former UNLV Golfer and current Rebel Assistant Golf Coach
AJ McInerney joins me for this episode of my podcast.
AJ is in his first year as a coach with the UNLV men’s golf program. Go Rebels!
Prior to coaching, McInerney spent three years playing professionally and held a Web.com Tour card from 2017-19. His professional career was highlighted by a top-10 finish at the PGA Tour's Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas.
McInerney spent four years as a student-athlete at UNLV, playing under Coach Knight and graduated in 2016 with a degree in finance. He was a team captain for Coach Knight and helped the Rebels to an Elite Eight appearance at the 2013 NCAA Championship.
A native of Henderson, Nevada, McInerney won the Nevada state championship three times with Coronado High School and two times as an individual, setting the Nevada state scoring record his senior year in 2012.
We discuss his days playing for UNLV, playing in the NCAA Golf National Championship, making one of the biggest putts of his life with his eyes closed and more.
AJ shares how the Route 91 tragedy changed his life and why Vegas Strong is stamped on his wedges.
