“Dustin has worked for everything. His college coach told me that he was going to work at McDonald’s! This is a guy who has literally grinded from day one,” said Paulina. “He’s in his element. That’s what he does: golf, and it’s such a hard sport. I’m not one to get excited (at PGA Tour events). I don’t get how people jump up and down. I don’t know how they do all that stuff. That’s just not in my DNA.”

“I am so proud of Dustin, but I’m living it the whole week, and the anxiety that I’m feeling for him, I have to keep that under wraps,” she added.
