“If you get the opportunity to play college golf in the states, you should take it! I wouldn’t trade my four years at SMU for anything. I loved every minute of my time in Dallas, Texas. My coaches: Coach Jeanne Sutherland and Dave, helped me become the best person and golfer I could be. They aided me in my attempts to become a little better every day. The environment and the people I had around me set the tone for my professional golf career. It is such a privilege to be able to combine studies at one of the US’s highest academically ranked universities with a perfect competitive golf environment. I’m so grateful for my time at SMU and the people I met who shaped me and I know will be a part of my life forever.”
