Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
I remember before playing the first round of the 2017 Junior State Championship that I was really nervous and not very confident about my game and despite this I focused on doing my best and working hard throughout the whole tournament, shooting my lowest ever round (72 – Even Par) at this international tournament. Even though I didn’t win, I was very proud of myself because I was able to control my emotions and I performed really well under pressure.
Goals:
To do my best in order to succeed in college golf and then decide whether or not I will try to play professional golf.
Anything else we should know?
I always work hard so that I can reach my goals. When I have something in mind, nothing and nobody can stop me from accomplishing it.
