Choi's popularity was apprent when he arrived in the U.S. Online, golfer Ryan Ruffels posted photos taken with Choi, saying he'd met his idol. And NFL player Aaron Rodgers posted the Korean phrase for "Let's play golf." The PGA homepage even put up an article titled "Everything you should know about Choi Ho-Sung."
In a press conference, Choi has expressed pride in his swing, saying it's his contribution to golf and he loves it.
The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am tournament teams up pairs of professionals and amateur golfers.
