Dominic Bozzelli played in only five Web.com Tour events in 2014 but made the most of the two times he made the cut, parlaying each into a T9 finish. Dominic Bozelli concentrated on the NGA Tour that season, winning three times and earning Player of the Year honors. On the Web.com Tour in 2015, Dominic Bozzelli made a greater percentages of cuts (six of 10), including a T13 at the News Sentinel Open, where he finished strong with a 63. Buoyed by his ability to compete in limited appearances, he finished fourth at the 2015 Web.com Tour Qualifying Tournament, setting himself up for a complete season of Web.com Tour action this year. With a T4 at the 2016 Rex Hospital Open, Bozzelli enjoyed the best finish of his young career. Dominic Bozzelli knows all about clutch because his biggest sporting thrill outside of golf was attending the 2013 Iron Bowl, when Auburn’s Chris Davis returned a missed field goal for a touchdown to beat rival Alabama and advance to the SEC Championship. Golf heroics seem likely someday for this Tiger.
Personal Notes Dominic Bozelli’s favorite golf memory was beating his dad for the first time. First-tee intro song would be “Shoulder Lean” by Young Dro. Favorite professional teams are the New York teams, the Yankees, Jets, Knicks and Rangers. Favorite courses are Pumpkin Ridge, East Lake and Oak Hill and athletes are LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders. Biggest thrill outside golf was graduating from college. Would like to be featured in Sports Illustrated one day.
Dominic Bozzelli graduated from Auburn University in 2013, but make no mistake: His Empire State roots are deep. You can find Bozzelli rooting for the Yankees, Jets, Knicks and Rangers in their various professional sports leagues. There’s no doubt Bozzelli aspires to the highest level of his sport. He was a two-time All-American for Auburn—and runner-up in the individual portion of the 2013 NCAA Championship—and already has shown promise in his relatively short stint on the Web.com Tour.
