Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
My best memory in golf is when I shot 6 under par in a big national tournament. The course didn’t really suit me because it was very long but on that day it didn’t matter… All my putts were going straight into the hole. With that score, I was sharing the lead with 18 holes to go. Furthermore, I was pairing with the best player of the country and I was very pleased to achieve that performance with him watching.
Goals:
To become one of the top ranked amateur players (< 200 WAGR); To consistently win big amateur tournaments
