Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
My best memory came when I was playing a two day event in which the second day I was one shot behind. During the round my uncle called my dad saying that my granny had suffered a heart attack. I could not believe it but wanted to keep on going and dedicate this win to my granny. Getting to the last hole I knew I needed a birdie to win and hit my approach shot to about ten feet. I made the putt for the win and was able to win the tournament for my granny! Unfortunately, she now cannot speak or walk anymore but I really hope she keeps improving!
Goals:
One of my goals is to become the longest hitter on the LPGA Tour. I then want to become the number one player in the world and win several majors! I also would like to represent Spain in the Olympics!
Anything else we should know?
I consider myself a hard worker and someone who will do everything in order to achieve my goals!
