I've played such good golf, and it was hard coming up and it wasn't easy in any matches or any shots. It means a lot. I think hopefully it will mean a lot to New Zealand because I'm the next winner of the U.S. Amateur after Danny Lee.

One of my goals is to play the Olympics in 2016. If you're able to represent your country in the Olympics everyone will understand you as a player and not many people do get to go to the Olympics.

Golf is like 99.9 percent of my life, and then there's school. I don't get much time to go out with my friends.

Everyone gets surprised because neither one of my parents play golf. Like I said in my speech, my aunt and uncle really love golf, and we visited them, and she gave me two clubs. Like people think when they don't know who my dad is, they think he's my coach.

I've got a couple of years until I turn pro so I guess within that period hopefully I'll be able to get a little bit better.

I'd love to go out on a Saturday night with my friends and watch a movie, but that happens really like once a year or a couple of times.
