Personal[]
Iles got started with the game of golf at the age of 10 due to his mother's influence.
In July 2004, Iles suffered a brain injury, which sent him into a three-day coma.[1]
In about 2006, U.S. Open Champion and fellow New Zealander Michael Campbell called Iles the "best talent to come out of New Zealand in a long time."[2]
