“It’s very competitive,” Katherine told the PGA Tour during a feature video interview the couple did when they were dating.
Collin co-signed the notion that the two enjoy competing against each other. It appears to have paid off as Collin has become a regular contender at the 2024 major tournaments.
“Always, always. We’re never letting each other win,” Collin said at the time. “I think she beats me probably on 70 percent of our chipping competitions.
“… It just always makes me a better player, and I think that’s what’s great about her is that we’re always competing. I think the PGA Tour is awesome like that. To have her around when we’re in the off weeks, and no one is around. She can always bring a wedge to the course, and we can always do something fun. Compete.”
