Give us 5 words that best describe you as an athlete:
hard-working, dedicated, creative, ambitious, disciplined
Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
My best memory as a golfer was without a doubt my first international win this past year in Berlin at the German Junior Golf Championship. I played steady and was mentally in the zone all the way through. Sticking to my game plan helped me shoot my best international round so far (68), and I took the lead from day 1 and kept it to the end. That was an amazing experience!
Goals:
My goal is to go to college, get my degree and then turn pro. I want to play either on the PGA or European Tour and become a top 10 player in the world.
Anything else we should know?
I love practicing trick shots. First of all, I think it helps you develop better feel and creativity, and secondly it also keeps your mind fresh during long practice days!
