When I earned my first PGA Tour victory at the AT&T Byron Nelson in May, one of the best messages I received was from my parents who sent a congratulatory video.
They were so happy to see my success but it gave me mixed feelings, both happy and sad.
Like many, my parents have sacrificed a lot for me. They have supported me in golf since I was young and it has been a while that I’ve seen them in person due to Covid-19.
Through my years in golf, they have never told me to quit the sport even when my game was not going well.
My father had wanted to be a baseball player when he was young but his parents were against it. As he couldn’t achieve what he wanted, he made sure he supported my dreams.
