Tournaments 2024-2025
08-12. Jul. European Amateur Team Championship
After The Amateur Championship, I was fortunate to spend two weeks at home to recharge and reconnect with friends and family. Thanks to my first golf mentor, David Crawley, I could once again practice for free at the Seedorf facility — something I’m very grateful for and which prepared me well for the Team Championships. We had a strong team led by captain Dani Wunderlin, coach Richard Adby, and support from Challenge Tour pro Rob Foley. Stroke play didn’t go as planned, but the level of competition was high. In match play, we showed our true strength, beating Estonia, Poland, and the Netherlands to finish 9th overall and win Flight B. Unforgettable memories in beautiful Killarney.
16-21. Jun. The Amateur Championship
I had a short but meaningful five-day visit to my hometown, then I headed back to the UK — this time to Sandwich, England, for The Amateur Championship at Royal Cinque Ports and Royal St. George’s. I opened with an even-par 70 at St. George’s, putting myself in a good position to make the cut. The next day, a -1 (71) at Cinque Ports got me into a playoff for the top 64. Unfortunately, a three-putt on the second playoff hole ended my run. The takeaway? A solid performance overall, but I need to invest more time in the often-overlooked, repetitive work on the putting green.
06-08. Jun. St.Andrews Links Trophy
After a long trip by train and bus from North Berwick to St. Andrews, I was rewarded with a practice round on the Jubilee Course, followed by another on the Old Course the next day. For many, playing the Old Course once is a lifetime achievement — I was fortunate to play it three more times in tournament rounds. With scores of 69, 73, 74, and a strong final round of 67 on the Old Course, I made the cut and finished in the top 30 of the tournament. It was an unforgettable experience at the Home of Golf, and I’m looking forward to coming back many times.
30-01. Jun. Scottish Mens Open
After graduating from Montverde and IJGA Academy, I headed straight to Scotland, where IJGA CEO Andrew Summers invited me and a group of fellow students to play prestigious courses like The Renaissance and Gullane. It was the perfect way to prepare for my tournament at the windy North Berwick West Links. Having Dani Wunderlin on the bag was a huge mental and physical boost. With rounds of 70, 69, 70, and 74, I was proud to make the cut and finish 36th.
04-06. Apr. Terra Cotta Invitational
Having worked with Gary Wise on past trips, I was excited to have him join me as my coach in Naples for a prestigious amateur tournament. Each player needed a caddie, and I was lucky to be paired with someone experienced who provided great support and conversation. My scores of 76, 76, and 74 weren’t what I’d hoped for, but the experience offered valuable reflection. A key focus with Gary was building what he calls the “Spidey-Sense” — the intuition and feel needed on and around the greens.
25-02. Mar. Spanish Amateur
Stepping out of the IJGA environment for a week was refreshing, and it was great to reconnect with my SwissGolf teammates while playing my first event under men’s national team coach Richard Adby. I had two solid rounds on the tricky Guadalhorce Golf Course, with my goal set on making the cut and reaching match play. My match was a battle, going to the 19th hole after I won 18, but my opponent sealed it with a birdie. It’s tough to finish that way after fighting hard all week, but every outcome reflects the process applied.
15-16. Feb. IJGT WAGR Championship
After starting my second semester at IJGA Academy and spending a few weeks reflecting, practicing, and planning for the spring and summer, I competed in an IJGT WAGR Championship at Bishops Gate. Even though we play this course almost daily, tournament conditions always provide a valuable test. With wind and rain adding to the challenge, I was happy to take second place. These tournaments are all part of the process of improving—sometimes you have to take a step back to move forward. Every challenge is an opportunity to learn, and this event was another important step in my development.
03-06. Jan. Junior Orange Bowl Championship
Competing in the 61st Junior Orange Bowl was a fantastic way to start the new year. Over the first three days, I played solid golf, shooting 10 under par. On the final day, I teed off in the last group but struggled with consistency in my putting and missed some key opportunities down the stretch. I finished at 6 under par, securing second place. There were a lot of positives takeaways and a lot of great lessons—a lot of times when you don’t win, you learn more.
20-22. Dec. Orlando International Junior Amateur Championship
I faced challenges in the first round but managed to make adjustments and stay consistent. In the second round, I shot 1 over, followed by a bogey-free 1 under in the final round. Although I finished solo second, just one shot short, the experience taught me the importance of adapting and focusing on the process not the result.
25-27. Nov. Sunshine State Amateur Championship
Over Thanksgiving, I competed against top amateurs in Florida and worldwide at the Sunshine State Amateur. Solid play in the first two rounds had me T7 heading into the final day. Unfortunately, a tough front nine and a cold putter on the back held me back. This tournament reminded me that on certain courses, it’s chess, not checkers—every move counts. I’m taking these lessons into my final tournament of the year, the Orlando International Junior, from December 20–22.
8-10. Nov. Notah Begay National Championship
In the heart of Kinder, Louisiana, I had the privilege of competing in the Notah Begay III National Championship alongside some of the nation’s top junior golfers. At the Koasati Pines Golf Course in Coushatta, I delivered a remarkable performance, finishing with a total score of 13-under-par to secure victory in the 16-18 division by an impressive five-shot margin. The final round, along with the Long Drive Championship, will be broadcast on the Golf Channel on December 17, giving viewers a chance to experience the excitement firsthand.
7. Oct.- 3. Nov. Optimist Tournament
and College visits
After three weeks of dedicated training, along with visits to Eastern Michigan University and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, I competed in the Optimist Tournament of Champions and secured my third consecutive win. This victory also qualified me for the prestigious 2025 Orange Bowl in early January. This week, I’m heading to the Notah Begay National Championship—one of the biggest tournaments of my career so far. I’m excited for the days ahead and look forward to finalizing my college decision soon.
IJGT WAGR Invitational
5-6 Oct. 2024
After a weekend focused solely on refining my game I won the IJGT WAGR Invitational by nine shots, shooting two rounds of 67 before the final round was canceled due to weather. Next up, I'm excited for a college visit to Eastern Michigan University, but first, hoping to safely navigate Hurricane Milton.
Notah Begay Qualifier
21-22.09.24
After a strong finish in the IJGT last week, I kept the momentum going and pulled off a win in the qualifier for the Notah Begay National Championship up in Louisiana! The tournament was held at Mission Inn, right across from Bishops Gate. It was two windy days on a tough course, but Im stoked to have finished 1 under par. The game is trending in the right direction and the grind does not stop.
IJGT 14-15.09.24
Since getting back to IJGA Academy on August 21st, it’s been awesome reconnecting with friends and coaches. With a full year already under my belt, I’m diving straight into my game plan from last year, but now with even more focus. I just played my first IJGT tournament of the season and had a solid showing—finishing second with a total score of -1 over two rounds! My game feels sharp, and everything’s coming together consistently.
JTE Kandern
05.08-07.08.24
On the scorable Kandern Golf Course I managed to card a 64 on the second day to get me into the lead. On the third day the round was shortened to nine holes due to Thunder storms. I picked up a bad stomach flu just before the third round, but decided to play and fight it out. That was certainly the wrong decision: Finished on T8 with -5 total. Lesson learned...
Swiss National Championship
18.07-20.07.24
My last U18 National Championship did not go exactly the way I wanted to by finishing on 6th place but I am happy that I fought until the end and had a great week with all my friends. Can't ask for much more than that.
EBTC 2024
08.07-13.07.24
It was an incredible experience competing alongside such a talented and dedicated team.I learned so much about myself and my game through this event, which is exciting for the future. I am proud of our 5th place!
JTE Bossey
21.06-23.06.24
Some tough conditions with rain showers on the first and second day and the final round with a lot of wind. The course has a unique layout with a lot of slope so this makes for some tough conditions. In the end securing the win feels good and also to get some WAGR points is nice.
Swiss Amateur Championship
07.06-09.06.24
Golf Club Montreux was in good condition and set up for a good challenge with tucked pins. Sadly the last round was canceled again because of Thunder Storms. I had a good first round but in the second one I had some trouble with the driver and putter. After a good reflection on my mistakes I was able to correct them in the next round and finish on T9.
German International Amateur Championship 31.05-02.06.24
I had my first tournament back in Europe, at GC Hardenberg for the German International Amateur Championship. I had some very good experiences traveling with the Swiss team again and seeing all my friends again. The course was very wet and there were difficult conditions. The last round was canceled due to thunder storms. Over two rounds I finished on T23. I played a lot of solid golf and where I did not I was able to learn why. Overall it was a good experience.
Independent International Invitational 11.05-12.05.24
The tournament in Boston went well too and I could bring home the win for my High school Montverde.
Overall the Montverde Academy dominated the whole field by winning first and second place in the team awards and also in the individual boys and girls divisions. It was a great week up in Massachusetts and it reminded me a lot of home which was a good preparation for the upcoming German Boys Tournament.
Copa Sureste Mexico
03.05-05.05.24
On a course where if you miss the fairway you are in the penalty area and with a constant wind blowing at 20mph, I was able to keep the scores consistent and manage to pull through with my second WAGR win. It was a great experience and it motivates to work even harder.
FJT Country Club Ocala
27.04-28.07.24
The Ocala Country club was a good test of golf and it was nice competing against some of the best juniors in Florida. I was able to get third place but still a lot of work to do. I am on the right track though. Excited for Mexico!
IJGA Open
03.02-04.02
It is very nice to have tournaments on campus at IJGA! I can use these tournaments as high performance practice between bigger events. This leads to a much higher quality in Practice than anywhere else. Very grateful for the IJGT!
