Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
My best golfing memory was winning in a sudden death for my club team to move up to the first division. In this competition, men´s and women´s teams are playing together as a team against other club teams. All my friends and teammates were walking with me and tried to support me throughout the playoff. The feeling hearing everyone screaming when I holed the decisive putt for the win was unbelievable!
Goals:
My long term goal is to be a successful touring pro and to win major championships on the PGA Tour!
Anything else we should know?
I am working very hard for everything I want to reach and for as long as it takes me to reach it. I work very hard both physically and psychologically and really enjoy improving all parts of my game. I have a clear picture in my head on how my path should look like and am very specific in working towards achieving my goals!
