Senior golfer shares what he's looking forward to in final year as a Badger
Madison, Wis. — What are you most looking forward to during your senior season?
I'm excited for our team. I think we have a really deep team this year, that is going to be a lot of fun. Through my first three years I've been able to see the teams develop and I think that this year is something really special. Now that I'm a senior a lot of the pressure is off and I just want to go have fun and enjoy my last year. I think that's what's most important to me.

How do you plan to step up and lead as a senior this year?
I've been blessed to play a lot of events my first three years so I've seen a lot of what college golf is like — been able to see the ups and downs of it. I think that I can really use that to help our freshmen who are very talented this year, get them acclimated to college golf a little faster. I feel like many programs have seniors who maybe haven't played that much, so I'm excited to take my experience and show them the ropes to hopefully help us be the best team we can be this year.
How do you feel that Wisconsin has prepared you for post-graduate success? Where do you see yourself one to two years from now?
Coming to Wisconsin is the best decision I have ever made in my entire life. The support staff, coaches, everyone in the athletic department has prepared me to be successful after school. I don't exactly know where I want to be in one to two years. I know that playing golf would be my dream, but there are other things I'd like to pursue. I'm trying to figure that out right now. But I know that no matter what I do, Wisconsin has prepared me to have the best future I could possibly have.
What is the biggest takeaway you have experienced from being a student-athlete at Wisconsin?
Some of the memories I've made — whether it's on the course, off the course, in the classroom — I'm going to remember them for the rest of my life. There's no other place in the world that I would rather be and I'm very proud to tell people I go to the University of Wisconsin and that I'm a student-athlete. That's really special to me. I've made so many friends and so many memories and that's really cool.
