January 16–17 will always stand out to me.
These were the competition days of the Copper Rock Epson Tour Qualifier at Copper Rock Golf Course, and they represented far more than just a tournament win. This moment felt full circle — a reminder of every step, every detour, and every lesson that led me here.
Winning this qualifier opens the door to compete against the best players on the Epson Tour this year. That opportunity isn’t lost on me. It’s something I’ve been working toward through years of mini-tour golf, long travel days, uncertainty, and a whole lot of belief.
During the rounds, my focus was simple: stay present, trust my preparation, and commit fully to each shot. This video shows the reality of those days — the quiet moments, the pressure, and the emotion that comes with knowing what’s at stake.
After everything wrapped up, my caddie and I switched gears and went to my first NHL game ever, watching the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena. The energy was unreal, and it was such a fun way to celebrate the moment before turning the page and focusing on what’s next.
This win isn’t the finish line.It’s an opportunity — and I’m ready to make the most of it.
