"For her to be able to run on the green and see her dad isn't a loser was one of the most special moments of my life."
Anthony Kim on winning in front of his daughter, Bella. 💙
Anthony Kim talking about how he's going to explain this to his daughter, Bella, one day.
"I just want her to know that no matter how bad your day is, if you keep fighting, you never lose.
"Hopefully she takes that with her for the rest of her life."
Emotional interview for Anthony Kim after his sensational win in Adelaide:
“It’s been overwhelming, but I’m never not gonna fight for my family. I knew it was coming and nobody has to believe in me but me. That’s for anyone who’s struggling.”
Legend 👊
Anthony Kim’s impressive comeback today meant he got to fulfill a dream of having his daughter and wife run onto the green to celebrate with him.
He spoke about what it meant after the victory in Adelaide:
“Best moment of my life so far.
“Obviously when Bella was born, Emily and my life changed. But to be able to share this moment, even though Bella won't understand it, one day she will, and for her to be able to run on the green and see her dad isn't a loser was one of the most special moments of my life.”
AK’s story is well publicised. His battles with mental health and addiction led him into some deep, dark holes. But his return to glory is one of the greatest comebacks the sport has ever seen. So, what will he tell his daughter about his journey?
“I will tell her that before she came into this world that I didn't feel any purpose in my life. Whether you have a lot of money, whether you have a lot of success in your life, you still can feel lonely and feel like the world is against you, and that's in your own mind because I had a lot of people rooting for me. Obviously you saw out there how many people were rooting for me.
“But I just want her to know that no matter how bad your day is, if you keep fighting, you never lose.
“Hopefully she takes that with her for the rest of her life.”
And now that AK has won again, how is he planning to celebrate?
“I might actually watch the movie "Frozen." I don't know, man. I didn't plan this far. I planned to be contending to win golf tournaments, but I haven't gotten this far.
“But I'm going to enjoy my time here in Australia. We're going to be here for two more days and we're going to go see the kangaroos and the koalas, maybe some giraffes. So that's my fun.”
AK’s comeback after struggles with mental health and addiction is a truly incredible story that will resonate with a lot of people. Especially with how the birth of his daughter has helped give him purpose in life.
His play on the golf course today was inspiring, but his transformation off it is even more so.
