1. How did you get interested in Golf?

I got interested in golf by my Dad. He introduced me to the game at the age of nine.

2. How do you get focused before a match?

To her focused before the match I like to listen to music and make sure I’m one hundred percent prepared for the round.

3. Who is your favorite golfer?

My favorite golfer would have to be Jordan Speith because he’s young with an amazing and exciting game. Ever since he got on tour he’s been on a winning streak. And seeing someone almost the same age as me doing incredible things inspires me.

4. What are the strong points in your game?

My strongest point of my game would have to be my recovery shots. After getting in a bad position, which is going to happen to the best of us, you have to make sure you recover from that situation. And that also ties in with your mental game, making sure you stay positive.

5. What do you need to improve on?

I would love to improve on my approach shots, getting closer to the pin, making it easier to birdie.

6. What is your favorite food?

My favorite food would have to be my mom’s lasagna.
