“My mom came to America when she was 12,” Harigae told LPGA Tour. “My dad came over from Japan when he was in his 20s to go to culinary school. They’ve had a Japanese restaurant in Monterey (called Takara, one of the most popular sushi spots on the Peninsula) for 31 years in the same location and they’re working every day. They’ve been able to raise a family because of the hard work and dedication that they put into that business.

“That was their American dream and they realized it. They’re still realizing it every day. And because of them, I was able to pursue my American dream of playing professional golf. As a young person, you don’t know how much junior golf costs. You have no idea. Now, I realize what a sacrifice it was for my family for me to play the events I played and do the things I was able to do in the game.”
