“If you make the effort to address the moves that cause a slice, you can straighten out all your shots. It won’t happen overnight, but if you’re systematic about it, the process will work.”

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.

Needless to say, the Masters is the tournament I’d like to play in and win the most.

I am extremely proud to be Tongan and Samoan, and to be the first on Tour and the first in the Masters is a cool thing.

We didn’t have cable TV. We just couldn’t afford it. But you don’t need cable to watch the Masters. In 1997, at the exact moment I started out, I watched Tiger Woods win the Masters.

There are a lot of variables to playing mini-tour golf because of the finances. If you don’t play well, you’re often losing a lot of your own money.

Golf is an extremely expensive sport, and growing up, I didn’t come from a lot, but my parents sacrificed a lot for me to compete, and my goals were their goals.
