Jelly Roll’s Late Start and Fan Love

Meanwhile, Jelly Roll had a bit of a rocky start—arriving 30 minutes late for his tee time. However, in true Jelly Roll fashion, he made up for it by interacting with fans, signing autographs, and even FaceTiming with a student who couldn’t attend. K95 Tulsa notes that despite his golf inexperience, he fully embraced the moment, jokingly reassuring fans that he felt “safe at the WM Phoenix Open despite his skill level” (K95 Tulsa).
