According to the account in the book—which is written by Ian O’Connor—Aaron approached his father, saying, “Hi Pops,” as the two embraced.
Father and son exchanged “I love yous,” which Ed noted “was amazing.”
And Aaron was thankful for the moment, telling his friend and caddie Jordan Russell after the encounter, “I think that was what needed to happen.”
He later told Ian, “That was a special moment,” adding that he believes a road to reconciliation with his family would be through his father.
“It’s just timing, just timing,” Aaron explained. “Every time I think it’s getting closer some weird things happen. But I would like a relationship with my dad for sure.”
