The BU student and golf scholar said, 鈥淚t was an incredible opportunity to experience and play at the European Tour. I played really well on the first day and unfortunately the second day was a bit harder and I didn't make it to the weekend.
鈥淚t was amazing to compete against top players from around the world. Being given opportunities like this could really boost my golfing career.
鈥淚t is a long, hard journey to become a professional golfer but I am determined to keep going. I am very grateful for the support of my peers and the BU academic team. I鈥檓 really looking forward to the next event or tournament I can play in.鈥�
