He is now feeling healthier, is the father and has returned to golf because his wife wanted to learn.”Golf is important to me and not important to me at the same time,” Kim said. “I’ve had some very dark moments. I’ve had some very low moments. I’ve felt very alone, even when there’s a million people around. I needed to get my mind straight and figure out what my purpose was on this planet.”His talent was immediately apparent on the comeback. Although he started out shooting high rounds over par, he was able to shoot a 65 in the sixth round of golf he played, on the final day in Hong Kong.”I have an interesting relationship with golf,” Kim said. “I don’t think I ever loved it. What’s very weird to me is I’m falling in love with the game. That’s such a weird spot for me because golf was filled with pressure. Golf was filled with lots of different emotions for me.”Because my family had to go through a lot to give me this opportunity to play golf. So with that added pressure, I was willing to risk a lot more. That was my nature. I was aggressive on the golf course. I was aggressive off the golf course, and that led to my demise.”He didn’t go into his problems too much, but he did slip that he was surrounded by some undesirable characters.”I’m not going to lie, I was around some bad people,” Kim said. “People that took advantage of me. Scam artists. And when you’re 24 or 25, even 30 years old, you don’t realize the snakes that are living under your roof.”Princess Diana’s personal astrologer reveals what the future holds for Kate Middleton after cancer revelation | MarcaMarcaPrince William reveals he’s grieving in the “saddest of circumstances” | MarcaMarcaThe Oklahoma golfer wanted to make it clear that he did not run away.”I know public perception is that I took this money and ran and decided I was just going to hang out,” Kim said. “That wasn’t the case at all.
