Jun Ho Won is used to moving. That’s good, because he has one more big move coming this year — to Boise State, which the Moanalua senior will attend on a golf scholarship.

Won was born in South Korea and moved to the Philippines, his family relocating to Quezon City and then Antipolo. When Won was 13, he and his family settled down on Oahu.

“The weather was the same, basically. It’s a bit more humid in the Philippines. The environment’s pretty much the same. I got used to it in a few weeks,” he said.

As for golf? That took a little longer to take to.

“People used to say I hit it far since I was young. I didn’t really like it at first since I was 5 years old,” Won said. “But my mom made me practice.”

With a natural swing and talent that was undeniable, Won qualified for the U.S. Kids open when he was 11, making the trip all the way from Southeast Asia to Pinehurst, N.C.

“I half-assed it basically for a few years,” Won said with a laugh. “That was the worst trip. That was so tiring. I played good there, but the trip getting there was exhausting.”

After making the move to Hawaii, Won recommitted himself to the game.

“That’s when I realized that I really wanted it. I wanted to be good. I worked hard. I would practice until 9 o’clock at night after school and then do homework,” Won said. “Sometimes around weekends, I’d practice at about 9 in the morning and then go home around 8 or 9 at night.”

Won’s prep career for Na Menehune includes an individual OIA championship and a runner-up finish at states last year. Additionally, he was a key member of the team that helped Moanalua win its first state title since 2012.

In 2015, he won the U.S. Open Local Qualifier. He also tied for 15th at the IMG Junior World Championships at Torrey Pines last year.

Because of his performance there, he landed a handful of college offers, eventually choosing Boise State. There are only 4.5 scholarships per men’s golf team at the NCAA Division I level, so many scholarships are partial. Broncos coach Dan Potter gave Won the best offer. Won chose not to disclose the percentage.

“I chose Boise State because it was best for me and my family,” Won said. “It was tough because there’s a lot of things you had to do. I had to play good, practice and mass email coaches to get noticed first. (Potter) was really chill and he knows how to manage a team.”

Before Won makes yet another move, he hopes to repeat the success of last year’s team as well as win an individual state title.

“I think he’ll be fine. He’s a really well-behaved kid,” said Moanalua coach Gordon Yuen, who believes Won can increase his scholarship if he performs at a high level this year. “I’m naming him team captain so he can take on the leadership role.

“He’s not a loud kid — he’s more of a quiet and down to earth person. He’s a good student also, so I don’t have any issues with academics with him.”

Won understands the mental fortitude that the sport of golf requires. As he meticulously worked on his craft over the years, he took a moment to reflect on the progress he’s made.

“I get used to things really easy,” he said. “So it’s not that much of a surprise.”
