Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
Club Men’s Team 2023: In 2022 we dropped out of the Elite Division to D1, so in 2023 our target was to win D1 and get back up to the Elite Division. After a lot of good golf from myself and my teammates we ended in a play-off. Our Captain selected me for the play-off, which made me a bit nervous at first. However, when I got to the tee I decided to just enjoy it and secure the win. We won the play-off on the first hole and reached our target to get back in the elite division 2024. It was a great (and lasting) feeling to succeed as a team after a lot of hard work and great accomplishments by all the players.
Club Championship 2023: I won our Club Championship in 2023 playing in a strong field of former professionals and current elite players. Here I also ended in a play-off after shooting -6 over 2 rounds. There were a lot of spectators for the play-off, which was fun, but also got my pulse up a bit initially. Once again, I just decided to just enjoy it and secure the win. I won after 3 very close play-off holes when I glued the ball to the stick from 140 yards for a birdie. It was a great feeling to become our Club Champ, also tying the record as the youngest player to succeed with this. It was also a great feeling to prove to myself once more that I can perform well under pressure.
Goals:
My goal is to continue to improve my game, step by step to reach my highest potential as a golfer.
My dream is to play for Europe in the Ryder Cup and to win on the DP World Tour or PGA Tour.
