What makes you different?

Golf is my passion and I’m highly motivated to work and study hard to achieve my goals. Golf will be a big part of my life always. I’ve set my goals for the future and after high school is done I can spend all my time practicing.

Why do you want to compete in college?

I want to compete in college golf because the level of sports in college is high in amateur sports. College will give me new perspectives from new people and it gives me an idea how I want to keep improving my game constantly. In college, I can also compete against the best amateur golfers of my age which gives a good boost for practice.

College Goals?

In college, I want to study something to do with technical side or marketing and get a degree in it. As a golfer, I want to keep improving myself and compete in high tier events and achieve great things.

As a golfer I also want to improve our team and win a tournament and show everyone that I can do it.

Anything else we should know?

I was top 5 in tennis when I was around 13 but had a serious injury and had to stop playing.
