About Athlete
My goal with college is to get a good degree whilst playing golf at one of the highest levels in the world. I’m an independent player who works hard with focus on my development towards a life as a future major winner. Being good individually is a result of good teamwork which is an important aspect for my development. My experiences from playing several team sports for most of my life gives me a good starting point to work well in a team.

What makes you different?
Working hard is nothing different, I do that of course too, but what I believe makes me different is that I am a learner. To acquire knowledge is very important in golf and generally in life and it is something I have always mastered. That is one of the biggest reasons for my development. Whilst being curious and asking questions, I listen closely to my coach and do my best to improve. I think that going to college is very important as well. I don't really know how everything works in college, so being good at adapting to new circumstances is very important I believe.
Why do you want to compete in college?
Going to college in the US is in my opinion a win-win-win situation. You get a good university degree that is yours forever, you get to play golf at one of the highest levels in the world and you get a life experience not too many others get to experience. This is something I am very interested in of course.
College Goals?
My goal through college is to be a good contribution to my team. I want to win tournaments both individually and with my team. When I graduate, I will hopefully have a good starting point to my professional career just like the young golfers we see on TOUR today. To see how Hovland, Wolff and Ventura w.o. has taken on the professional life is inspiring.
