"My dad was an athlete, and I played a lot of sports, but I never felt like I was pushed to play golf. Once I decided that golf was what I wanted to do, my mom was the one who urged me to practice, but not in an overbearing way. My dad wanted me to have fun, and when I wasn't, he would say, 'Hey, let's go do something else like shoot hoops or play baseball or whatever.'"
