Personal Statement

I want to get a degree in Psychology and I want to compete at a college level playing golf. I am very competitive and I want to win at everything I do. I will work hard in school and on my game to accomplish my life aspirations. I am a very long off the tee and I have a very good touch around the greens. Also my putting is getting better , the previous years I was nervous on the greens but now I am very confident and I make more putts. I shot under par for the first time in tournament on 9/26/16 at TPC Prestancia for PREMIER JUNIOR GOLF TOUR, also as a freshman I advanced from Districts and Regionals and made it to State Championships where I placed top 20. My game elevates when I play in a team, I helped my PGA JUNIOR LEAGUE TEAM win the STATE FINALS when I was 12 years old and I really liked playing for my High School team.

MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP AT USF
4/08/17 to 4/09/17
The Claw at USF was a very tough test of golf , I played really good especially the second day.The hardest thing to overcome was the bad condition of the greens and the fairways, my ball striking was really good on Sunday I hit 14 greens in regulation , my putting distance control also really good but the ball would not stay on line resulting to only one birdie. Overall I am very happy that I won the tournament shooting 79- 75.
