Arron Oberholser
US golfer Arron Matthew Oberholser was born in San Luis Obispo, California and graduated from San Jose State University.

The next year, he was ranked second on the Order of Merit for the Canadian Tour.
Oberholser joined the second-tier Nationwide Tour in 2001, but a wrist injury limited his play.
