UPBRINGING
He was born in San Diego, CA, United States of America, to a father of German-French descent and a Chinese-born mother who was raised in Japan. He credits his upbringing with giving him a resilient mentality. "I always felt like I was mentally tougher than the other kids. I always wanted it more. I was sort of this grinder who would never quit. If I ever felt sorry for myself, my dad and I would have this two-hour talk. He bred an underdog mentality into me from a younger age. 'You need to go get it, because nothing is going to be handed to you'. I pretty much figured out in grade school that we weren't the stereotypical American family." (pga.com, 21 Jan 2019)
