Who is Open star Kevin Chappell’s wife Elizabeth, where did they meet and how many children do they have?

GOLFING star Kevin Chappell is looking to shine at this year’s The Open and finally win a first ever Major title.

And Chappell, 36, will be supported by his wife Elizabeth but what do we know about her?

Kevin and Elizabeth Chappell met at a friend’s wedding

Who is Elizabeth Chappell?

After finishing university, Chappell became a personal trainer.

She is a Seahawks fan and can often be seen teasing Kevin – who is a 49s fan – when the teams meet.

The pair have two children together

How did the pair meet?

Kevin and Elizabeth were set up by their college friends – despite the fact that they were at universities 1200 miles apart.

Their roommates thought they would be the perfect match but it was not until Craig and Andrea Leslie got married did the pair finally meet.

At the wedding in 2011, the pair hit it off and after Elizabeth graduated, Kevin flew up to Seattle to take her on a date during a week off from tournaments.

At the time they started meeting, Elizabeth had just bought her first home and was determined to stay independent – even asking Kevin what his “real job” was.

Within a year of dating, she moved to Arizona to be with Kevin and join him on the tour circuit.

Kevin proposed in October 2012 at the CordeValle Golf Club and the couple married 11 months later.

Both children Wyatt and Collins were at the Par-3 competition in August this year

How many children do they have?

Since the couple married, they have had two children together.

Oldest son Wyatt is three whilst Collins was born in January 2017.

Both children and Elizabeth joined Kevin at the 2018 Masters Par-3 contest.
