Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
One of my best memories I have from my golf career is when I won the Junior Masters Invitational at Tylösands GK, which was a great victory and the fact that I got to do it in a playoff made it extra special. My two titles abroad are of course also big for me, but winning Tylösand felt special! It was pretty close to home and a lot of known faces where playing!
Goals
My overall goal in golf is pretty simple! I want to become the best golfer in the world and dominate! Every year, me and my coaches set up new goals to keep pushing me and to motivate me even more to be better!
Anything else we should know?
I am a hardworking golfer who will do whatever it takes to be successful. I currently practice for an average of four hours per day, as I obviously still need to go to school and balance that part of my life as well!
