Joshua Yang '18 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement
My collegiate goal is to be the best teammate I can be and give my team the best chance to do something speical. The thing that I think makes me different from other recruits is that I have strong character, I am very honest and willing to work very hard. I also believe that I am a good recruit because I want to out work and out prepare everybody to give me the best chance of winning any golf tournament that I step on the tee for. I have been playing golf for six years now and over the 2017 summer, I finished with a scoring average of 74 and a scoring average of 71 for my top 5 scores. Although I only had one a win this summer, I placed top five in every AJGA performance based entry tournament on the Minnesota Junior PGA, and placed top 4 in every Hurricane Junior Tour event that I participated in. Moving into my senior year of high school, I am continuing to stay focused on my grades (3.9 GPA) and currently searching for a college golf program to join in the 2019 year. I am very excited for the opportunity ahead and look forward to see what my final year of high school has in store for me.
