FUN FACTS





Q: If you had one day to do anything you’d like, what would you be doing? A: A lawyer, taking part in trials, etc.


Q: What is your go-to shot under pressure? A: A small cut. It is controllable, it lands soft and I can hit it very easily with my style of swing.


My best travel tip is…. Drink plenty of water. Flying really dehydrates you. And make sure you have something to read or a game to play it definitely makes the time go by faster.
