What do you listen to on your iPod?

I am a fan of Nickelback, Chris Daughtry and John Mayer. Sometimes I will listen to classical music before playing a round of golf.

Do you have a routine before a round?

When I used to play junior golf, my mom would come with me to the tournaments and we would pray together before I teed off. Sometimes I still try to call her before college tournaments so that we can pray.

What is your favorite home-cooked meal?

It is not a home-cooked meal, but one of the first things that I need to do when I go home is get New York style pizza and get a New York style deli sandwich.

What are some of your favorite movies?

I like a lot of Pixar movies. I like Monster’s Inc.; I like the Dr. Seuss movies. My favorite movie of all time is Mary Poppins.

What are some of your favorite TV shows?

I usually only watch one channel and that is The Food Network. I am a huge fan of watching The Food Network. My favorite show is Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello. It is usually very rustic Italian cooking.

What has been your favorite vacation?

I have been to South Africa and Cape Town was gorgeous. Every other summer vacation we like to go to Korea to visit my mom’s side of the family. I like going back to Korea.

Where would you like to travel to?

I would like to go to Europe, especially Barcelona and Italy. I would love to go to Italy.

What was your first car?

I got it freshman year. It was a black Benz SUV.

What is your favorite golf course to play?

There is this course in Korea where they pretty much carved a golf course in the side of a mountain. It was really pretty because it is so high up. It is really hard, but really pretty. That has to be one of my favorite courses.

Have you ever had a hole-in-one?

Yes, on the Duke course. It was during practice, sophomore year, on the eighth hole.
