IP Routing Questions

So my friend has a problem where he lives in Texas and wants to connect to FiveM EU Servers to play with his mates. However, his ping from any other EU server should be about 120 ping. Only when he connects to a FiveM EU Server that his ping is about 180-190. We figured out that any time we use tracert in cmd in any other EU server, it goes from Texas to Virginia to New Jersey before making the jump to EU.

However, when doing the tracert for the FiveM EU Server, for some reason, he goes from Texas to California AND THEN MAKING THE TREK to New Jersey before jumping the ocean to the EU which resulted in 180-190 ping.

Any ideas why his IP address would go to California, making a weird extra unnecessary step before going to the EU servers?
