Personal Bio

Hello, I’m a professional golfer hailing from Duluth, Georgia. At 15, I was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome—a challenge that initially seemed daunting but has since become a source of strength and resilience in my life. My passion for golf led me to North Carolina State University, where I had a standout collegiate career. I secured five tournament victories, and earned First-Team All-ACC honors. In 2021, I was honored to represent Team USA at the Arnold Palmer Cup, and in 2022, I finished inside the Top-15 of the inaugural PGA Tour U rankings. Since turning professional, I've competed primarily on PGA Tour Americas. Off the course, living with Tourette's has taught me perseverance and adaptability. I aim to raise awareness about Tourette's, hoping to inspire others facing similar challenges to pursue their dreams relentlessly.
