1- Are you happy with the decision you made about college?
Yes, I think is a process that every person has to go through with. It gave me the possibility to play golf and get a college degree.
2-What was the thing that you like the most about College?
When you practice and travel with your team, you create a family away from home, especially for us that we are far away from our direct families.
3-What World you recommend to all those new players that in the future would like to be professional golfers?
Since golf is a really long career, I think that is important to go through each step, golf players need to go through the same steps as a normal person, finish high-school and the college.
4- How did you prepare for College?
I finished high-school in the United States with the idea of pursuing a collage career with a golf scholarship, I was lucky enough to succeed. It was my dream that I had since I was a little boy, I always felt that being over there (in the States) it was to get something that I always wanted.
5- Is there anything that you would change from that experience?
No, I liked every step I made, and the steps that I didn’t like they made me realize what were the things that I don’t like, and to be aware of what not to do to make that bad experience come back. All the positive and negative things that made me grow as a person and also as a golfer.
