My dad is just like everybody else's dad. I see him as kind of a goofy guy with a great sense of humor. I try to get in a battle of wits with him, but he always gets me. I emulate him because I've never seen anyone work as hard as he does.
When I was 13, I told my dad I wanted to move to Florida to attend the IMG Academy. I wanted to be a golfer, and that's hard to do in New England where I could only practice half the year.
I try to go out, check out the town, and have a good time. It's a life experience: not everyone gets the chance to see the world and play golf, do the thing you love while travelling.
I've been trying to be the best representative for my school, my family, and the USGA as I possibly could.
I'm just going to go out and play. At the end of the day, you are still hitting a little white ball with your clubs.
You are going to hit some good shots and not get rewarded, but that's just U.S. Open golf. It's tough; it's hard.
