A family first: John Pak part of Walker Cup win with parents, four siblings watching

JUNO BEACH, Fla. – For Mother’s Day, John Pak usually gifts his mom, Michelle, flowers and cards. On Sunday at Seminole Golf Club, he got her the best present yet: A Walker Cup.

“This was the best Mother’s Day,” Michelle Pak said as she watched her son celebrate with his teammates.

Michelle and her husband, Kenny, have seen their son, a decorated senior at Florida State, win a few matches and tournaments over the years. But until this weekend, the entire Pak family, which also includes John’s four older siblings, had never watched the youngest Pak kid play a single shot.
