What makes you different?

What makes me different from other players is that I am so stubborn I never give up, if I would like to achieve something I work until I have reached it.

Why do you want to compete in college?

The reason why I would like to compete in college is that I think it would be a great experience and so fun to play for a team. It is also a great opportunity to play against great golfers and study at the same time. The last and biggest cause why I would like to compete In golf at collage is, that you can play and train the whole year which you are not able to in Sweden.

College Goals?

My goal in college is to study international economy so I can take care of my economy when I get pro.

Anything else we should know?

In only one year and six months from the first time I ever held a golf club in my hands, I was able to reach a handicap of 4.7.
I have always been interested in getting to know new people.
