Q&A

  • Q: How did you get into golf?

    My grandpa first introduced me to the game, and I never stopped playing from then on.

  • Q: What is something most people don’t know about you? Any hidden talents?

    I’m pretty experienced in music production.

  • Q: What is the best thing about your hometown?

    Lots of great people!

  • Q: Do you have any superstitions?

    No. Only thing close to it is that I like to listen to music on the range before a tournament, but stop once I start putting/chipping.
