Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
The most memorable round of golf I’ve ever had took place in Finland, where we were unexpectedly hit by a small tornado during the round—an incredibly rare occurrence in this part of the world. On top of that, I made my first-ever albatross, and played the three par fives on the course at an astonishing 6 under par: a birdie, an eagle, and the albatross. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime round.
Goals:
My long-term goal is to become a professional golfer. In the short term, my goal for this season is to lower my scoring average by 2–3 strokes.
Anything else we should know?
I thrive under pressure and always look for ways to challenge myself. Whether it’s through physical training, mental preparation, or refining technical skills, I’m focused on becoming the best version of myself as an athlete. That unforgettable round in Finland reminded me why I love this game—the unexpected, the excitement, and the drive to keep pushing forward.
