It was pretty ironic because people would say, “that kid is going to be a golfer” and low and behold, I ended up trying to make a career out of it. She was always there for support – financial, emotional or mental, she was always there to guide me and be the guiding hand. My Dad gave me the fundamentals, and I kind of ran with that. It was a team effort for both of them.”
