“They’re like my second family,” Pak said of his teammates who were part of that video chat. “Florida State was one of the best decisions of my life. I love it there, I love my teammates. That was nice to see them there.”
Pak’s parents, who have become a little more known now after he detailed the support and sacrifices they’ve made for him and his golf game, were also able to see his final round in person.
“My parents being able to come out today, and I had it going there for a while, so they got to see me play some pretty good golf in some of the toughest conditions,” Pak said. “They’ve been my biggest supporters my whole life. For them to get out there and watch it, I felt that was really special.”
Overall, Pak tied for 51st at the U.S. Open. He joins an illustrious list of low amateurs at the U.S. Open, including Jon Rahm (2016), Jordan Spieth (2012), Matt Kuchar (1998), Justin Leonard (1993), Phil Mickelson (1990 and 1991) and Fred Couples (1979).
Looking toward the future, the collegiate All-American has his sights set on helping out Florida State in its quest for a national championship this spring.
“I’m really looking forward to the spring,” Pak added. “We start as early as January and we’ve got a really good team. I feel like we have a good shot at winning the national championship this year. That’s something I’m really looking forward to.
“Obviously, the Walker Cup is something I played in last year and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Playing for your country, representing it is such a cool feeling. You get a lot of nerves, and hopefully we’ll win it again this year. I want to be part of that again.”
