"I want to gain more speed this year!"

2nd April 2016.- "Last season I was playing as amateur and this year I turned Pro so my main goal for this year is to manage better on the tour and learn more of long driving and gain more speed.

During the winter I have been training a lot in the gym and I´ve been also concentrated on stretching.
Of course I would like to have an event in Finland as we have good courses, long holes and good weather the whole summer. I hope we see the LDET circuit in Finland next 2017."

March 2015.- As one of the new rookies of the LDET, what are your expectations for year?

"I will try to learn as much as possible from other hitters. I will also do my best and look how far it takes me."

"It is very nice to be part of tour. I'm excited to start my first LDET competition and I hope I will manage it well. It is great to be in the same events with the best hitters on tour. I really can't wait until tour begins!"
