After graduating from Dennis-Yarmouth High school in 1990, Jason headed south to Charleston Southern University where he won four college tournaments. So when he turned pro in 1994, there were some people who wondered what he was trying to prove. He doesn t mince words or pretend to be anything else but a kid from a good family who wanted something really bad. When other kids were partying and frolicking through college, Caron was always going to bed early and getting up to practice. That s not to say he doesn t like to have fun, but he always had goals.
Some guys are afraid.
I d rather be out here making money than telling someone to take it back more inside or outside. This came after he ripped up the NGA Hooters Tour at the end of the 1999 season, winning three tournaments in seven weeks. He won his first event with a birdie in a five man playoff and then chipped in on 18 to win his third first place check. His ascension from the minor leagues of professional golf to the tour comes after four years traveling from one hick town to the next in the southeast on a mini tour better known for the girls who hand out the winner s check. With a limited budget and a 1979 Volvo station wagon with no air conditioning, Jason relied on a close group of guys on tour to endure the travel and the time away from his parents in Cape Cod and his home in Athens, Georgia.
