The 31-year-old professional golfer has kept his love life quite a big secret; apart from one of the family photos he shared on Instagram and one with his son. The golfer loves to spend time with his family whenever he can and go on holidays too.

He shared a very heartwarming picture with his son, probably captured by Melissa where he was playing with him while holidaying at a beachy destination. Both father and son were smiling ear to ear in the photograph.

She was really emotional when her husband won the Farmers Insurance Open. Talking about her feelings, she said, “I was surrounded by my sisters, my former bosses, Julien Quesne’s wife (Stéphanie) at my sister’s house. Deep down, I believed in it but with Steph, we knew that we shouldn’t get carried away with this sport. Some people don’t understand that anything can happen until the last hole and that’s what happened. Tears came to me from the putt on 16, I was shaking all over, I really didn’t realize it. A few months ago when he won in Madrid, I told him that he was going to make history in his sport, that he had to have confidence in himself. ” She is very proud of her golfer husband.

Other than being a loving wife, and a mother, she is also a businesswoman.
