Both my parents are golf instructors, so ever since I was little, I used to go to the golf range after school and hit a couple golf balls for fun. Ever since then, I have loved the game.

A thing that most people don’t know about me is that I have a passion for art. Although it’s not something that I take super seriously, I enjoy being able to take something from my imaginations and be able to bring it to life.

My hometown of Coquitlam, is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever seen. It is surrounded by mountains, the ocean, and as a bonus, plenty of golf courses. It is a blessing to be able to live in Coquitlam and in BC because of the abundance of nature.

I’m not the most superstitious person, but when it comes to golf, I always have two tees in my pocket and I always use my ball mark that has the same design as my spider x putter.

My dad took me to the range when I was 8, and I watched him hit balls. I was so intrigued and I definitely wanted to start playing!

The diversity and great golf courses.

The story behind how I got into golf is that my parents and I were driving back home from downtown Toronto, and we were passing by a garage sale, and my parents decided to stop. My dad saw junior golf clubs and decided he would buy them for me to try. A couple of days later, my parents took me to a public driving range called Carrick Macross, and I started pounding each ball like it was not my first time hitting a golf ball and instantly fell in love with the sport. The owner of the public range was watching me and told me to join his summer camp, which I did. I got a lot better and started competing in 2016 at US kids’ golf tournaments. I won 4 out of 6 events and qualified my first year for the US kids’ world championship in Pinehurst. The rest was history. I kept working extremely hard to achieve my goals and dreams. Now on the route of playing college golf and hoping to make it on the LPGA tour representing Canada!

Something people don’t really know about me is that I love to write music in my free time.

My hometown, which is Toronto, has one of the best tourist attractions in the world. Toronto is known for fantastic entertainment like Ripley’s aquarium, CN Tour, ROME museum, and many more. I am also very proud of our sports teams, the Toronto Raptors, Toronto Blue Jays, and Toronto Maple Leafs, for their success. That is why I love my hometown!

I always mark my golf ball with a line and my initial (LZ)

Also, I have 2-3 tees in my ponytail

My brother and I played a few different sports when we were younger. After trying them all for a while my father asked us which one we liked the best. We both decided on golf as our main sport. I chose golf because it’s a more individual sport than the others. I don’t need the whole team to be available to play. This means I could be on my own schedule. I started golf with this odd reason but when I got into it, I really discovered a lot of fun that I didn’t experience in the beginning.

I like to joke around a lot with people. But deep down I have serious ambitions that I’m trying work hard to achieve. My coach, Doug, calls me the Farmer. Very often people ask me why. It comes from a story about a Chinese farmer and his son. Basically bad things happen to his son and those bad things end up becoming beneficial for him. So the moral of the story is ” it’s neither good nor bad.” Every time I make a bogey or a birdie I always tell myself  “it’s neither good nor bad,” and it helps keep my emotions stable throughout a round of golf. This is something between me and my coach and not a lot of people know about this.

Toronto is a very diverse city. My favorite part of Toronto is that there are so many different kinds of food from all parts of the world.

Sometimes after playing a good tournament, I feel like I will play well again the next time if I wear the same clothes.

It would probably be “Here comes the Boom,” soundtrack from the movie “Here Comes the Boom”.

I was a member at a golf club at a young age. Loved going to the range when I was little.

I would ride in the golf cart with my dad at Big Sky Golf Club when I was younger. I brought out soccer balls, roller blades, frisbees, and even a hockey stick and tennis ball to play hockey on the cart paths. I would play football and play fetch with our dog too. As time went on I would start to hit more and more shots until I was playing whole rounds when I was 7. I grew up on a golf course so that is probably how I got into golf.

Mazes – For some reason I can do mazes fast.

There are some really nice golf courses.

I never use a golf ball with the number 5 and I always have one marker and two tees in my left pocket.
