This week we take a breather from the professional golf schedule and sit down with Alex Swayne, a senior at Clemson University. Alex recently competed in the US Women's Open at Olympic Club, including playing a practice round with Lexi Thompson and she shares some stories and reactions from that week. Prior to her time at Clemson, Alex was the top ranked junior in Ohio by the AJGA and 14th overall in 2018 according to Golfweek.
She also recently competed as an amateur in the Symetra Tour event in Cincinnati and she opens up about that experience. But ultimately what really resonated with us over the course of the interview was her sense of self belief that she and her coach have been working on. If you've been struggling with your own game, hearing Alex talk about herself using positive reinforcement is a reminder to all of us about how our emotions and energy can affect our play. Be more like Alex!
