Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
My best memory came in matchplay, during the Belgian National Team Championship. We needed to win my match to get into the final and I was three down with four holes to play. On the Par 3 15th, I almost holed my tee shot and won the hole with a birdie. On the par 4 16th, I nearly hit the green with the driver and had an easy chip which gave me another birdie. On the par 5 17th, I was nearly on the green in 2 with an easy putt for eagle and my opponent gave me the hole. Finally, on the par 4 18th, I had a hard 12-foot downhill left to right putt to win and I holed it, which gave us the match. There was a lot of pressure and adrenaline and it was great to celebrate this great experience with my teammates!
Goals:
My long term goal is to win tournaments on the PGA or European Tour!
