Q: What do you like to do for fun outside of golf?
A: “Honestly, I don’t really have many other hobbies. I pretty much just hang out with my teammates, and just kind of see what happens throughout the day.”
Q: What movies or shows do you like?
A: “Everything action, that’s about it. I’ve watched ‘Formula 1: Drive to Survive’ on Netflix. That’s my favorite show by far.”
Q: What kind of music do you like listening to?
A: “Country, huge country fan. Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs, those are my two biggest, for sure.”
Q: What are some of your personal goals this year?
A: “I think, just first off, I just wanna meet the team, get to know everybody. I want to be the tightest team we can be, for sure. As far as playing, I mean, I really just want to do the best that I can do. I try not to put too many expectations on anything because then I try to chase those a little too hard. I’m just trying to stay me and stay confident and see what I can do.”
Q: What are your career plans?
A: “After college, turn pro, go for as long as I can in this and see how that ends up. Just try to make it as far as I can. I’ve got some pretty good belief in myself.”
Q: Who inspires you?
A: “I think my dad inspires me a lot for his work ethic. He is a very strongly driven man, so I try to kind of go off of what I’ve seen him do throughout my life.”
