It started off with 3 missed cuts this year, life was still somewhat normal, then lockdown hit, I was feeling completely lost in all aspects of the game, for some it was the worst scenario possible but I made it worthwhile by changing a few things and working my ass off to get back to where I want to in this game. Lockdown was lifted, golf courses and gyms opened back up again and I kept working and working with one goal in mind “Let’s get back up the challengetour rankings and try to get to the Grand Final and give ourselves a chance”. Summer was approaching and the schedule was looking promising with some co-sanctioned events with the Main Tour, a few of them in Portugal and the game was feeling better and better. Played solid throughout this run and peaked at the National Championship where I won for the first time in the professional rankings. Had a few more weeks to prepare for the last run of tournaments on the Challenge Tour, game felt ready to go for a final push and after a couple of OK results in the last two weeks I was able to qualify for Mallorca for the Grand Final. We still fighting! One final push 💪

Thanks to my team, sponsors, wife, friends and family for believing in me!
