“You can see what everyone feels like and how much love and joy they have when you are able to just able to see him in person, talk to everyone, talk to the media, but just be out here, be a presence. Because he has that kind of ability to change people’s lives, and that’s what only a few athletes and people around the world have that ability.” 

Moreover, Collin also added that if he is out on the course competing, he will try to beat him. “But trust me, if he’s out here, I’m trying to beat him, that’s for sure.”
