I did play other sports growing up. I played cricket and all those other things, but I was just so much more talented in golf, and that's all I wanted to do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I played sports growing up in high school.
I only started concentrating on football as a career when I left school at 18. I played golf for the Scottish and British boys' teams.
I had good skills, but my lack of size and speed kept me a little behind the best kids in the other sports. Golf offered a more level field. I would have rather played other sports, but golf picked me.
I started with golf because I saw my brothers play, I was always watching them. It was my life. Growing up, we always played competitions like chipping, hitting.
I grew up playing golf, and if I were ever good enough to play professionally, I would get to travel the world while playing a sport I love.
I always played sports when I was young. I played football and baseball for eight years. I loved football.
Soccer and cricket were my main sports growing up. I had trials as a soccer player with a few clubs interested, Crystal Palace being one, but it was cricket which became my chosen profession.
I grew up in a family that played golf, and my brother was much better than me, so I kind of put that aside. I had to be good at something other than golf.
I was a baseball player and a football player at Stanford, so I didn't play a lot of golf in college. I really started playing a lot after I turned pro and I had some time in the off-season.
I grew up playing every sport.
