Give us 5 words that best describe you as an athlete:
passionate, focused, tough, humble, perseverance
Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
Qualifying to play in the US Kids World Teen Championship in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Walking those hallowed grounds that have priceless memories of various US Open Championships, especially Payne Stewart and that memorable victory over Phil Michelson. Playing course #2 on the final day will live with me as my first best golfing memory so far.
Goals:
My short term goals are to get selected to play for the South African national team and to be a successful college golfer in the US! After that I would like to start my professional golf career and become a successful touring pro!
Anything else we should know?
I also enjoy other sports such as surfing, swimming and kayak fishing!
