Give us 5 words that best describe you as an athlete:

Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
I was in one of the final pairings at a national tournament, the fist hole was a par 4 which bent sharply left and played hard into the wind. I flushed a low, stinger-like bullet with the driver and the people watching from behind audibly went “Wow”! To this day it is probably one of the best shots I have ever hit, especially considering the circumstances of it being the first tee shot of a very important round with a lot of pressure on my shoulders!
Goals:
I want to be as successful as possible in college golf, which will determine whether I try and turn pro or continue with my studies
Anything else we should know?
I really care about my studies and work equally hard in the classroom as I do on the golf course
