What do you love about golf?: I love the ability to travel for my matches and spending time working with my teammates.
Most memorable moment in golf: Making it to the region tournament with my brother (Keith) and being able to play with him his junior and senior year. I like being able to practice under him, and him being able to help me.
Most embarrassing moment in golf: Almost hitting my dad’s car that was parked behind me, and my uncle laughing at my shot. This was in middle school at Blue Ridge Shadows.
Most difficult moment in golf: Playing in my first invitational my freshman year, I was struggling to hit the ball straight or even off the ground. I let myself get in my head.
Three people you can have dinner with, dead or alive: Steve Carell; he is my favorite actor and he is in my favorite TV show “The Office.” Emma Watson; she’s my childhood crush from when I saw her in “Harry Potter.” And Phil Mickelson; he is my favorite golfer, and it was awesome to watch him win the PGA Championship this year.
Biggest athletic influence: Phil Mickelson. He said, “The object of golf is not just to win, it is to play like a gentleman and win.” I’m inspired by that.
