2020 Highlights
August 2019 Personal Statement
Growing up I have done pretty much every sport I could. For me, golf has been my favorite. Coming into high school, I began playing golf and have fallen in love with it. It has taught me to have confidence and to not give up because you can always better yourself. I love the way it makes me feel and I really enjoy the team aspect. Not only are you competing for yourself but for others as well.
I would love to continue to play golf in college and be a part of a team. I feel that being a part of a team is very beneficial and has really helped me academically and personally. I enjoy being challenged academically because I know if I work hard I can overcome anything. I plan on going into occupational therapy once I graduate and I know that will take focus and determination. If I had the opportunity to play golf in college I would utilize every aspect of it. It would be a privilege to be a part of something bigger than just myself. My ultimate goal in life is to better myself and everything around me.

- Front nine: 44 and Back nine: 53, 18 holes: 97 ; Placed 3rd overall out of 28. Struggled on my first nine holes which happened to be the back nine, but was able to relax, move on and just finish my last nine strong.

- Front nine: 50 and Back nine: 46 18 holes: 96 ;Placed 6th out of 71. I started on the front, not playing too bad, but I just could not get much going. The back was a little better and I was able to drop a couple of strokes.
- Camp/Event

- Front nine: 53 and Back nine: 46 18 holes: 99 ; Placed 30th out of 63; I played pretty good on my first nine which was the back, but I started to struggle on my last nine. It was not the finish I was hoping for but I was able to come out with the positives, improving by 9 strokes from the year before and shooting under a 100. Even qualifying this year was a big accomplishment alone.
