Aron Price feels like his best golf is ahead of him so he doesn’t mind that he recently turned 30.

“I think it’s a young 30,” said Price, an Australian who is playing on the Nationwide Tour this season. “These young guys that are a year or two out of college don’t seem like they are that much younger than me.”

Price, who turned 30 on May 6, is coming off his best finish of the season when he tied for 16th at the Stadion Classic at the University of Georgia. He’s had three top-25 showings and if his putting can get on track there are sure to be several more top-25 finishes.

He’d shot a course record 62 at TPC at The Woodlands the day before; a 70 to close the deal a bit earlier that afternoon and win his first PGA TOUR event — the Shell Houston Open.
