Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
The best memory of my athletic career so far was one of my first tournaments that I played in the 2023 season. It was played in Skåne, Sweden on a small golf club called Flommens GK. The tournament is very special for me because in the first round I played some terrible golf. I had a hard time committing to my shots and strategies due to the hard weather. In the second and last round though I started to believe more in myself which led to a huge comeback gaining 15 strokes.
I learned a lot from that tournament, especially the mindset of not giving up and believing in myself which I constantly have in mind.
Goals:
My goal is to be as good as I can in golf and make a living playing professionally.
