STRENGTHS IN THE GAME:
My strengths are wedges and shots off the tee, which give me good scoring opportunities. I also rely on a strong mental game that allows me to stay composed and bounce back quickly from difficult situations on the course.

PRACTICE - TRAINING ROUTINE
I study from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., then head to practice. I begin with 30 minutes focused on fundamentals and refining my chipping technique. After that, I spent about an hour doing competitive chipping drills on the short game area.
Once I finish short game work, I move to the range, warm up, and hit specific shots I want to sharpen for my upcoming tournament—especially those I know will be key on the course. I like to focus on executing realistic, game-like situations during practice.
To finish, I head to the putting green and spend 20 minutes working through my putting station drills. Depending on the day, I then rotate between different types of putting work: distance control, short putts, pressure/clutch putts, and making long putts.

HOBBIES AND PERSONAL INTEREST
I like to watch and play other sports like football, tennis, or basketball. I enjoy reading and learning about high-performance athletes who transformed their sport and left a lasting mark on it. I also like staying active by working out at the gym. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, spending time with friends and family, and occasionally editing golf swing videos to analyze technique.

DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS A PERSON
I’m a disciplined athlete who loves golf. I’m a calm person who works hard every day to get better, both as a player and as a human being. I love the process—practicing with purpose, learning from failure, and competing with humility. I'm someone who values faith, family, and doing things the right way. In the course, I stay composed under pressure and focus on controlling what I can.
