Q. Why did you decide to pursue professional golf as a career, or why do you keep playing professional golf?

Q. Yes, perfect. And then last question: If you weren't a professional golfer, what do you think you would be doing?

KIM KAUFMAN: I would've went to law school. Whether or not I liked being a lawyer I don't know, but I definitely probably would've been a lawyer.

You know, a lot of people go to law school and don't practice, but that was definitely my plan.
