Who's your idol?
Honestly, I don't have one.
Who's your ideal foursome?
I think Tiger Woods. You always have to have Tiger in there. Probably Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.
That's pretty strong.
Yeah, not bad. Jack is a legend and Arnie is a real nice person. I've heard so many great stories.
Have you met any of them yet?
No. Not yet. I'm waiting but hopefully soon.
Your mom says you've met some television and movie stars?
Kevin James. George Lopez. Samuel Jackson. It's pretty cool. You wouldn't think that you would meet them on a golf course. They're such nice people. They're easy to talk to.
I'm sure you're tired of this question, but what are your thoughts on Michelle Wie?
Right now she's getting back into it. She went through a tough time last year. It was tough on her and on golf in general. That's just the way life is. You go through ups and downs, and the best people do the best that they can and really grind through it. I think she'll get back into it. This college thing will be good for her. I'm pretty sure she'll do well in the next few months, and hopefully she can get back on top of her game.
Who's longer off the tee -- you or Michelle?
I don't know. I've never watched her hit any.
You haven't played with her yet?
No.
They should stage that match in Hawaii.
Oh my goodness.
That would be fun, right?
That would be interesting.
Any Tadd Fujikawa travel tips?
Trying your best to sleep on the plane is very important. That's what I try to do. I drink a lot of water and before I go on the plane. I try to stretch, especially on long flights; it's really tough to just sit down for seven or eight hours.
Do you fly coach or first class?
Not first class. Either business or coach, depending on where we're going.
Have you ever been upgraded because a flight attendant recognizes you? Have there been advantages to being famous?
Not really. [Laughs.]
I guess the advantage to being 5-1 is that even in coach, you always have plenty of legroom.
That's the only thing good about it. I can be in coach and it doesn't bother me at all. My legs are never scrunched.
I read that if this golf thing doesn't work out, you fit the height requirements to be Mickey Mouse at Disney World?
[Laughs.] Exactly! I'm the perfect height. They said to be Mickey Mouse you need to be 5-feet to 5-2, and it just so happens that I'm 5-1, so I guess if this golf thing doesn't work out, I can be Mickey Mouse.
