Favorite memory to date of Grinnell College golf career:
Shooting 4 under par in the second round, to finish 2nd individually, at the Central Fall Invite my first year and getting off the green and seeing all my teammates. That was the most support that I think I have felt on a golf course -- ever -- and it was the moment that I knew that I had made the right choice in my college golf career.
