On when Friedman decided he wanted to be a professional golfer:
“I decided I wanted to pursue a professional golf career during my freshman year at Drexel University before transferring to Methodist. I wasn’t able to walk on the golf team, and I started to perform poorly in class. As a result of my performance, I would become stressed, and when I get stressed, I play golf. I realized that while I should have been studying, I was playing golf. I knew then that engineering was not for me.”
