ALTON - PGA golfer Brian Cooper was on Riverbender.com's 'Our Daily Show!' hosted by CJ Nasello last week to talk about his personal golf journey and his plans for the 2023 season. While on the show, Cooper discussed how he overcame a stint of depression after having shoulder surgery, sidelining him from the sport. His inspiring story began to make international headlines and he shared that story with Nasello on the show. Cooper, now 55 years old, talked about his comeback and highlight finish at the PGA TOUR Champions Qualifying Tournament.

"I've always wanted to be better, I've always known I can be better," he said. "Now I have that chance, so I have
