Hanson Hopes To Retire By 38 And Other Anecdotes About The Masters 3rd Round Leader

Jim Nantz's go-fer's will want to click on Alex Miceli's story about Peter Hanson, who is quite the unknown character even though he's been one of the world's best players over the last year.

This was interesting:

Winning a Green Jacket would accomplish Hanson's first career goal, with garnering a gold medal at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil as his second goal.

And then he wants to retire. At the age of 38.

Hanson, who now lives in Lake Nona in Orlando, plans on retiring to his native Sweden and spend time with friends, as well as go back to his loves of hunting and fishing, leaving the world of professional golf behind.

“I’ve never been good at setting long-term goals, but I ‘ll probably stick to the Green Jacket for now,” Hanson said when asked about his ultimate goal. “But the Olympics would be a dream to play in for my country and to play the first golf Olympics would be fantastic.”

I do believe we have our first example of how much golf in the Olympics would mean to a top-flight player.
