For Jesse Mueller, it benefits his craft.<\/p>\n<p>Golf can be difficult and demanding but working as a coach alongside playing professionally can be even more intense.<\/p>\n<p>Mueller is a Grand Canyon University assistant coach and the school\u2019s golf course general manager. He once focused on just playing but changed his plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI played for 10 years and now I manage Grand Canyon\u2019s golf course, and through the PGA of America, I get a chance to play in few events like this one, Mueller said of the WM Phoenix Open. \u201cIf I was on the PGA tour, I would play full time but it\u2019s just so hard to get there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mueller\u2019s job allows him to work alongside his family, which he said helps him succeed at his job.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s one of three family members who works for GCU. His younger brother Mark is the head coach of the men\u2019s golf team, and his dad is the university president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s great to be connected with my family and work with them in certain aspects of the job,\u201d Mueller said. \u201cAll of us get along very well, so it\u2019s great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the journeyman\u2019s family ties don\u2019t stop his work ethic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, he works harder than anyone I\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d said Micah Meyer, GCU\u2019s associate athletic director of finance. \u201cHe\u2019s an example for them at the golf course.<\/p>\n<p>Mueller qualified to play in the WM Phoenix Open after winning the 2024 Cologuard Classic Section Qualifier, representing the Southwest PGA.<\/p>\n<p>Mueller brings a certain level of expertise that\u2019s indispensable to GCU\u2019s golf team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of what he does is through his experience,\u201d Meyer said. \u201cHe passes that along to the players along with course strategy and course management, and if they guys ever need help beyond that, he\u2019s available as a resource to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Visibly noticeable in the warm sun due to his purple and white GCU polo, Mueller and his experience are overlooked on the golf course. Even though he\u2019s had little success in national tournaments, he\u2019s won with family by his side.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, Mueller won the PGA professional championship with his wife as his caddie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s caddied for me at the majors and a couple of PGA tour events, and it\u2019s nice to have her on the bag,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In the final round of that tournament, Mueller held a five-stroke advantage going into the final round. He held on to the win, delivering the best 12<sup>th<\/sup> wedding anniversary gift \u2014 a $60,000 purse and an automatic PGA championship berth.<\/p>\n<p>The 2022 win was the first time a Southwest PGA professional won the PGA Professional Championship in its 54-year history.<\/p>\n<p>At his year\u2019s WM Phoenix Open, he didn\u2019t make the final cut. Mueller came off the green after the second day, ready for his next challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PGA America national championship is in April, and that\u2019s a big one because the top 20 get into the PGA Championship,\u201d he said. \u201cThe winner of that one gets to do a bunch of tour events so that\u2019s my next big tournament, and if I do well, it gets me into some other ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Toussaint Fancher is a sports media graduate student at Medill.
