What makes you different?
My passion and drive to make history in this sport and to break all the records set by Tiger Woods. To one day be known as the best golfer to have played this game. To dominate!!!
Why do you want to compete in college?
I want to go to college because of all the great players that went to college and played in all those big golf events. All the great stories I heard of playing college golf and how good the quality of golf is.
College Goals?
Win every possible college golf tournament. Break records that seems almost impossible to conquer. Win the NCAA title individually and in a team.
