What's the biggest personal sacrifice you made in getting to No. 2 in the world?
Sean Kim
Golf is a solitary sport. As a kid, I spent a lot of time away from my friends, missing going out some nights because I'd have a tournament the next day. You're practicing and working hard, and growing up it meant not being a regular kid. I love doing it, but I treat it like an occupation. Right now what's most difficult is being away from family. My daughter's going to start school in the fall, and my kids and wife will not be traveling with me like in the past. The biggest thing in my sport is having an understanding wife. The silver lining is, when you're home you're really home. You don't have to get in the car and go to work at 8 a.m. You can be home during the day, drive the kids to school and watch their after-school activities. When you're home you're really home, but when you're away you're really away. You miss big chunks.
