Byeong-Hun An, of South Korea, holds the Havemeyer Trophy after winning the U.S. Amateur golf championship in Tulsa, Okla., Sunday, Aug. 30, 2009.

Byeong-Hun An moved to the United States in pursuit of a better golf game. He left his life and his mother half a world away and moved to a country where he didn't speak the language to learn the game he'd first tried out by chance one day while his father was hitting balls at the driving range.
