Kicking off my first tournament of 2026 and I couldn’t have asked for a better start.

I finished today at 2-under par (70), and the round started in the best way possible. My very first hole was a par 5, and I chipped in from about 21 yards for eagle. Not a bad way to open the year.


What made the round even more interesting was how the first nine played out. I actually only made two pars on the front side. It was a mix of birdies and bogeys, but through it all, I stayed really calm and committed to every shot. No panic, no forcing things — just staying present and trusting the process.


One of the biggest wins of the day was how much I genuinely enjoyed the round. I stayed cool, collected, and had a great time out there with my caddie, Edward. Those are the days that remind me why I love competing — when the focus is sharp, the energy is good, and you’re fully in it.


I’m feeling excited and confident heading into tomorrow. I tee off at 11:30 am!!

Let’s keep this momentum rolling.
