Matt Parziale Biography

Matt Parziale started playing golf as a child, continued through high school and attended Southeastern University in Lakeland, Fla., where he led his team to a national championship in 2007.

For most of the past five years, the 30-year-old from Brockton, Mass., one of six amateurs playing the Masters this week at Augusta National Golf Club, has been sneaking in amateur tournaments between shifts for the Brockton Fire Department.

After school he became a professional golfer but struggled with money. He quit in 2013 and a year later joined the Brockton Fire Department where his father, Vic Parziale, was captain. With the job he found more stability playing tournaments and finally had a steady paycheck.
