“They sacrificed everything for me,” the Central Florida alum told PGATour.com of his parents. “They have given up everything for me. They knew I was able to do it and they were always there for me.”
He continued: “My dad cried, my mom cried, and I cried. My mom was driving when she called me, she had to pull over and she had to take a minute. She just cried for a couple of minutes. They know I can do it, and to have it finally happen, it just means the world to me and to them. It was just a really special moment.”

“I know I can compete out there,” he said. “Everyone around me knows I can compete on the PGA Tour and the Korn Ferry Tour … I knew if I kept knocking on the door it would happen. I finally did it. I broke through. I walked through this time.”
