In an interview with USA Today, the Thai-British racing driver shared his story of meeting the Chinese golfer. He said, “The story goes … she watched “Drive to Survive.” I wasn’t in “Drive to Survive” at the time. She got into the sport at the same time that I was getting into golf. The first time I picked up a golf club was maybe the beginning of 2019. You could say our interests collided.”

“We met through social media and I was just kind following how she was doing, and she was following how I was doing, and one thing led to another and we met up in LA. It was a week after I had a race in Texas. We played some golf together and that’s how it all got started.”
