“There are a lot of great athletes on the PGA Tour and a lot of good basketball players. But I can definitely put my name in the mix as one of the best.”

A lot of times, college can get you sidetracked. I was ready to turn my full attention to golf.

I definitely feel it’s important, whether I’ve taken time off or played right before, that I take necessary rest time in the weeks before the tournament.

Essentially, my parents directed me in the right path. They were all for me turning professional and starting that journey as a family with my golf career.

There are countless things we can work on and think about in the swing, but when it’s time to play in competition, you don’t want to think too many thoughts.

We’re going to tournaments, and we’re driving the par-4s. At 10 years old, I was hitting it, like, 240.

I have a little different perspective on this whole golf thing than maybe some other players.

I enjoy the challenge of being a father… I try to do my best to be there for my children.

I feel like listening is a huge part of life – not only listening to people, but listening to people that you believe in, people who you think are wise.

I think the Polynesian people and the gospel are in harmony. We’re very respectful people, and very humble people… and I try and let that shine through as much as possible.

Everything I do is deeply rooted in my faith and especially in Jesus Christ.

I think it’s a cool thing to have kids look up to me and to know that it doesn’t matter, your background or your ethnic background. If you have goals and dreams, you can achieve them.

Maybe I carry a little chip on my shoulder with just how tough it was for my parents to overcome some of those financial situations.

I had a chance to win $2 million, a week after high school graduation, and if I turned pro, the sponsor was going to financially support me.

We grew up in the Rose Park section of Salt Lake City. It’s a good neighborhood but a tough one, on the poor side but proud.

It was tough to fail year after year. I never even got to the final stage until I got my card on the Web.com Tour.

I have no golf setup at all inside, just a half-court for me and a volleyball setup for my wife, who plays.
