Who is the golfer you admire the most? I have come to admire [ Scottie ] Scheffler a lot. His demeanor on and off the golf course is something all young up and coming golfers should follow.
What are your golf goals for 2026? My first goal every year is to win a VSGA event or even multiple VSGA events. Leading the points is always a goal as well. One final goal would be to qualify for the U. S. Senior Am again.
What memory do you take away from this season? It was great to win the Senior Stroke play at my home course Fredericksburg CC. I had a lot of members out there supporting me.
Another great memory for this year was qualifying for the US Senior Am. It was a great experience. I birdied the first playoff hole to make match play. That was exciting.
What golf ball do you play and how do you mark it? Titleist Pro V1 and I mark it with one dot under the number with no specific color.
What is your favorite course in Virginia? The Upper Cascades at The Homestead. It is truly beautiful and has a great layout.
