I have been walking on a golf course with my Dad since I was about two years old. I started to putt and chip when I was about six years old. I have been playing competitively since I was nine years old.

68, -4 (18 holes)

4.7

Everything through my Dad. Watching golf, chipping & putting together, attending First Tee where my Dad volunteered. Also, DCP, PGA Junior League, & Op36 really helped to make the game fun early on.

My Dad and Grandpa Duane

I normally play golf with my Dad and other club members. Sometimes I will play with some of my friends from tournaments.

My favorite thing about playing golf is all the people I meet, the challenge and landscapes of different courses, and creativity to make different shots. I love playing golf, but my favorite part is enjoying practicing and playing with family and friends (especially my Dad). Solo practice is great time to be by myself and reflect on my game and life.

I love to practice my wedges from 100 yds and in. I also love short game practice because there are so many different types shots I can practice and play.

The most difficult thing about golf is the mental game. Staying calm, focused, and sharp from the night before to the very last putt of a tournament. This can be difficult sometimes when doubt creeps in or adversity hits, but is also something I work hard at.

My putter because it is a very vintage piece (Wilson Tour Special II, 8802) and has a lot of character (rust spots/scratches)

Qualifying for Drive, Chip, and Putt Nationals.

I play in PGA Colorado Section Junior Player Series. I won the end of year Tour Championship Tournament.

Don't worry about being perfect. Keep grinding to the end, even after a missed grid, chip, or putt. Whether you're playing your best or worst, you never know how the rest of the field will do.

Yes.

Yes, I participated in First Tee of Pikes Peak when I first started playing but I am not currently attending.

It is a very different experience than normal tournaments. There's also a super-cool reward at the end!

The moment I realized I qualified for Nationals and the interview process afterward.

2017-Local (12pts); 2018-Local (41pts); 2019-Local (33pts); 2021-Regionals (5th/109pts); 2022-SubRegional (90pts); 2023-Regionals (2nd/129pts); 2024-Regionals (1st/118pts)

I watched a little bit of it. It kept the dream alive and the goal within my sights.

Chipping, Putting, Driving.

No, never.

My favorite golf accessory is my Kissing Camels bucket hat (white w/navy blue trim)

My favorite Masters memory is Scottie Scheffler's winning four-putt on the final hole of the 2022 Masters. I remember being very nervous watching him. However, he handled it very well and kept smiling.

Scottie Scheffler because of his attitude, humility, and swag. He is very calm and collected on the course. He is always in the mindset to win and succeed. When he does win, he is very humble, does not brag and goes right back to his laid back and normal life in Dallas, TX.

Rachel Heck because she is really cool, positive, and a great teammate. Not only is she a great golfer at Stanford University, but she is in their Air Force ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps). She gets the opportunity to serve her country and play great golf!

Historically, the coolest player in golf was Payne Stewart. He had his own style and cared for everyone he came in contact with.

I hit shots on the practice range with Hale Irwin at the Broadmoor GC during the US Senior Open practice day. I was very sad after losing in the Drive, Chip and Putt local qualifier hosted at the Broadmoor earlier that day. I asked him a question about playing under pressure because I wanted to learn how to perform better in Drive, Chip and Putt. He was great to me and my sister. I have the video of the experience.

No superstitions, but I do meditate the night before a tournament.

Very rarely, but sometimes EA Sports PGA Tour, Road to the Masters.

I would serve my Dad's steak, salad, Shirley Temples, and ice cream sundaes or Angel Cake with fruit compote.

History

Ms. Yohn - Science Teacher and Basketball coach. She is always helping and pushing me to improve. She also loves to play golf and talk to me about the game.

Ice Hockey (Basketball is close 2nd)

Top Gun Maverick

Corey Kent

LPGA Drive-On

Podcasts (many golf ones)

The thumbs up because I use it everyday and it is very convenient.

I play competitive basketball and played Ice Hockey for 6 years. I play the violin in my 8th Grade orchestra. I am also President of my school's National Junior Honor Society chapter. I love to hang out with family and friends. I like cooking and listening to podcasts.

Anxiety before big events (tournaments, games, etc.). With deliberate work, I learned a lot about myself and my mental approach to life and the game of golf..

My parents. Mom, a strong leader, amazing mother, and athletic role model. Dad, a strong leader, selfless officer/coach, and athletic role model. Rachel Heck, a positive teammate, good for the game, and a servant-leader to her country.

Trust the Process! As you climb the mountain, God has a plan for you in everything that comes across your path, good and bad.

When I grow up I want to be a Pilot in the U.S. Air Force, a Professional Golfer, and/or an On-Course Commentator like Emilia Migliaccio.

I am kind, outgoing, and very hardworking. I am a leader at home, in the classroom, on the court, and in my school. I try my best everyday in all areas of life (school, athletics, fitness, leadership responsibilities, and community service).
