6. If you could have any superpower, what would you choose?
To have the mental strength of Tiger Woods in his prime.
7. When do you first start playing golf?

8. Who got you started playing golf?
My Dad. He was the golf pro at my home course when I was young and the first one to put a golf club in my hands.
9. What has been your favorite course to play?
The Ocean Course at Cabo del Sol on our trip to Mexico this year.
10. What is the toughest place you have ever played at?
The Golf Club of New England. I played there in the 2012 U.S. Junior Amateur. Extremely difficult.
11. What is your routine or ritual prior to playing a round of golf?
Before I play I like to visualize myself playing each hole and how I want to play each and every shot according to my game plan before I step on the first tee. That way it's like I've already played the course and it's a big confidence booster as well.
12. What is the best advice you've ever received?
Anything my Dad has ever told me. I don't give him credit for it, but he's a wise man.
13. Who is your favorite golfer?
Probably Rory Mcilroy. I really like his attitude and character.
14. Why did you choose to attend BGSU?
Coach Farrell. He gave me the opportunity that no other school did and for that I'm very thankful.
15. What is your major of study?
Sports Management with a minor in Marketing.
16. What has been your favorite class at BGSU?
Don't have one.
17. What do you want to do after you graduate?
Continue my golf career.
18. What is your favorite golf memory at BGSU?
I would have to say our trip to Mexico this year. That was an unbelievable experience for me. I had never been out of the country before so that was really cool and it was the most beautiful place I've ever been to. Definitely a trip I'll never forget.
