SPORTS

Look at the training that you’ve had [ . . . ] and remind yourself that you are not just the value of the results that you had on that day

What’s something about Nanaimo (your hometown) that you think is better than Burnaby?

In Nanaimo, there’s a ton of beautiful beaches, lakes and mountains. The beauty of living on an island is everything is generally within 10 minutes or less from my house!

Golf just introduced walkout songs. What song are you picking?

“All of the Lights” by Kanye West.

SFU women’s golf just came out with a list of superlatives. Which one are you being assigned to?

Most likely to become a musician.

Hidden talents/something no one knows about you?

I play the guitar and the piano!

If you could have lunch with any celebrity (dead or alive), who would it be?

Robert Downey Jr., he’s had a pretty interesting life and seems like a great guy — plus he’s Iron Man.

If you could change anything about golf (rules, scoring, etc.), what would it be?

Probably the out-of-bounds rule. The current rule is if you hit your ball out of bounds, you take stroke-anddistance relief — you play another ball from where the previous stroke was made and take a penalty stroke as well. I would change it so you would play out-of-bounds the way you would play if you hit into a hazard.

Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are teeing off. Who are you taking and why?

Both great players and huge figures in golf, but I would go with Tiger Woods. I’ve always admired him, he’s [incredible] on the course and I always find myself rooting for him no matter what.

Most memorable golf memory?

My first time competing with SFU at a tournament we won [ . . . ] in Utah; experiencing college golf for the first time was really fun.

If you could play any other sport for the day, what would it be and why?

I’d probably choose basketball, just cause it’s always fun and also a team sport, which would be a switch up from golf.
