Q&A

Memorable Win:

Winning the Mt Baw Baw Classic in 2019 when I was able to bounce back in the final round and force a playoff, then went on to win. It showed me that you need to stay patient and the opportunities will come.

Advice:

Work on developing confidence and trust in your abilities. Play the shots you are most comfortable with and back yourself in at all times. A strong mental game is key to playing well consistently.

Goals:

My goal for 2020 is to continue my consistent play and push my rating up towards 1000. Winning a few events would be great as well. Looking ahead, I'd like to help newer players improve their game and help grow the sport.
