Q: What are the team goals for the spring season?

A: As a team, we aim to lower scoring average and place ourselves higher up in the rankings.

Q: What did you do over the winter break?

Q: What was your favorite golf memory growing up?

A: I grew up playing golf with family relatives. Nothing compares to a family round on a Sunday evening.

Q: What was the last movie you saw in theaters and what did you think of it?

A: Interstellar. I went with one of my teammates. I found it mind-blowing and the movie didn’t feel as long as some people told me it would be.

Q: What do you like to do in your free time?

A: Hang out with friends and listen to music.

Q: What is your favorite home-cooked meal when you go home and why?

A: Being in Iowa has made me appreciate everything my mom cooks. I can’t make a decision of what I miss the most.

Q: What is your favorite Hawkeye memory so far?
