00:00
you know, heading into 2025, you got a tour card in the site.
00:02
What's that feel like at this stage in the game?
00:06
Yeah, it was definitely a great fall.
00:08
I think the
00:10
the biggest thing was just taking it week by week this
00:13
fall and
00:15
because we had a few tournaments that were back-to-back and then
00:18
a little break and then two that were back-to-back.
00:20
I feel like it gave me just enough time to rest but not
00:23
quite enough time to think about where I was or to get to
00:25
results focus.
00:26
So
00:27
it was just
00:28
I think timing wise a really great semester.
00:30
I won twice to finish the fall, which was
00:33
just a huge momentum going to the offseason
00:36
and thought I was going to hit it really hard this offseason,
00:39
but ended up taking some rest.
00:41
Yeah, feeling really energized after some travel this
00:44
offseason, some vacation.
00:47
Just really, really ready to get it going with the guys in
00:50
the spring.
00:51
Skiering up got I got a lot of fun tournaments ahead of you.
00:53
You head to a tournament fairly soon and why you played really
00:56
well out in the past.
00:57
And we open this year with another big set of news on the
01:01
PGA Tour University and PGA Tour.
01:03
You accelerated front more opportunities being open as it
01:06
applies to you are really the class after you for the main
01:10
PGA Tour you program.
01:12
There's going to they're going to expand more access to the
01:14
corn ferry tour for those elite upperclassmen college players.
01:18
I'm just curious just the general vibe amongst your peer
01:22
group reacting to the growth in that program and now adjusting
01:25
to create even more opportunities for the best
01:27
collegiate players.
01:28
How do you all view that internally?
01:31
Yeah, it's only been a few days.
01:32
So I haven't had much time to to talk with people or to process
01:36
it much.
01:38
I don't know that I've I don't even know if that I've had a
01:40
conversation in person with anybody about it,
01:43
but it's obviously great.
01:44
I mean the guys from the classes above me Ludwig Michael
01:48
Fabianson even guys like Dunlap and Luke Clinton that have just
01:52
proven that amateurs can play really well on the PGA Tour.
01:55
Have allowed us these opportunities.
01:58
And so I'm I'm thrilled about it.
02:00
I'm thrilled for the guys behind me
02:04
that just I feel like deserve so many opportunities.
02:07
So yeah, I'm pumped about it.
