Personal Statement

My goals for college golf is to make the traveling team and to win tournaments. But the biggest thing would be having that bond with my fellow teammates. Something that makes me a good candidate for the team is how supportive I am for my teammates and my desire to win. What makes me different is how I have an outgoing personality and how I can keep my cool on the golf course. In terms of athletics, I have consistently demonstrated a high level of skill and competitiveness in this sport. I take instruction well and always strive to improve my technique and strategy. I am also a team player and believe that working together and supporting one another is key to success. Academically, I am a strong student and take my studies seriously. I understand the importance of maintaining a good GPA and have consistently excelled in the classroom. I am also a proactive learner and enjoy taking on new challenges.

Camp/Event
WIAA 4a Boys State Championship
5/23/23 to 5/24/23
I started this tournament shooting a personal best 67 which put me in 2nd place in round 1. I knew I needed to beat the leader by 2 strokes to win the individual title and we were even for most of round 2. On the 18th hole I knew I had to at least make birdie to have a chance at winning. My competitor ended up making par and I was able to get up and down for birdie to win by 1 stroke.
Camp/Event

5/20/23 to 5/21/23
Shot a 69-66 for this tournament. Started off day 1 with a double but then fought back to get it -1 for round one. Second day I knew I had to have a low round to get into contention. Played really good shooting a 66 to finish off the tournament tied 2nd.
Camp/Event
Western Open
4/15/23 to 4/16/23
After posting a 2 over 74 in round 1 I was T28. I knew I would have to get into red figures for round 2 in hopes of at least making the top 10. The weather was challenging, mid 40's, rain and windy. I maintained my focus and shot a 1 under 71 to finish T5. I'm proud of the fact that I was one of the five under par rounds for the day out of a field of 140.
Camp/Event
2023 State Match Play
3/24/23 to 3/26/23
My goal for this tournament was to make it into the top 16 to get into the championship flight which I did with a +3. T4 finish in the strok play round. In my first match play round I found myself 3 down with 3 to go so I had to play flawless golf to have a chance of advancing. I ended up making eagle, par, par to extend my match. I ended up losing the first playoff hole but this shows I never give up even when the situation isn't favorable.
