Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
My best memory in golf was when I was winning for the junior club team in a playoff hole to reach the National championship. I almost holed my first shot at a par 3 hole.
When I shot 14 under par in a three round tournament to win with my family watching.
I played a tournament at Hammarö Gk and finished third place. I was the best amateur in a strong professional field, including PGA tour winner and player Jonas Blixt and European tour player Tobias Eden.
Goals:
My goal is to play at a competitive level in college for four years to develop my golf game. The reason I think college golf is good for me is that I get to practice and play with other good players to develop my game. After college my ambition is to qualify to a professional top tour.
Anything else we should know?
I qualified to the professional Nordic golf league called Cutter & Buck Tour. I qualified through q school at Landeryds Gk and Rya Gk.
