What’s your favorite hole on the course and why?
Number 3 is a very demanding par 3. Having a tough par 3 to start a round will show you how you are performing that day. It’s a great hole!
What’s one bucket list course (outside of SW and Augusta, of course) that you’d like to play someday?
Bandon Dunes
What’s your best piece of advice for someone just starting out?
Get lessons early in your journey! After that, play as much as you can. Forget about your score at the beginning and just have fun.
When did you start playing?
I started playing as soon as I could walk.
Who inspires your golf game?
My dad. He taught me how to play!
