Earlier, when the duo started taking golf lessons together, he realized Williams is much better than him. And if that was not enough, after seeing his daughter, he faced a severe blow to his pride. He saw Olympia doing even better.

Olympia became Ohanian’s inspiration. She had developed a liking for miniature gold. And now, Ohanian has made the sport a family affair.
