7. Champ has had two wins on the PGA Tour so far. His first came at the 2018 Sanderson Farms Championship and the next one was at the 2019 Safeway Open. The second win was of particular importance to Cameron because Mack was in hospice at the time. "For me to do something like this, for me to win, and for him to be able to witness and watch on TV, I know he was probably amped up," Champ said to PGA Tour.com. "For him to be able to see me make that putt on 18 on the 72nd hole, that will go down as the greatest moment ever in my career."
8. He attended Texas A&M University.
9. Champ was part of the victorious US Walker Cup team in 2017. He played four matches losing twice, winning once and halving once.
10. Champ started working with Sean Foley when he was just 14 years old. We are yet to confirm if they are still doing so.
