Biography
I started playing golf when I was 12 years old because a friend introduced me to it and I realised that I had a natural talent. After three years I started winning important amateur competitions. I was cadet champion of the Basque Country, also under 21 La Rioja Champion. I even played some championships of Spain and the Mc Gregor trophy in England (which I made top 10). I managed to acheive all of this in very little time, I made one of the fastest progresses in Spain.
All was great and going uphill until my parents it a rough patch economically and I the age of 16 I had to stop playing golf. This year at the age of 22, I decided to start playing again as I've always had this dream in my mind. Within less than four months I was third in the Gran Prix de La Nivelle Championship (France) and in less than 6 months I become professional.
Now I need your help so I can start competeing more regularly. I need as much experience as I can get in order to be ready for my next important competitions. My main goals now are to compete at
The qualifying of the British Open: May 2020
The qualifying of the Spanish Open: August 2020
The European Tour Qualifying school: September 2020
I'm a PGA Spain member, so I'm also playing the Seve Ballestero Tour nationally to gain experience.
I'd like to thank the businesses that helped me compete in two tournaments this year: Fairways Restaurant and Clínica Dental Pablo Santaolalla. I’d also like to thank my personal trainer, John for all his help and support!
