We got the chance to ask Evelynn some questions pertaining to her succession in golf and these were her answers!

I would pick Rory McIlroy because he’s my favorite golfer, and I have looked up to him since I started junior camps.
What is your favorite memory from playing golf?
I would have to say winning the 5th Annual Sam Burns Junior Four Ball with Maci Williams while it was our first time competing in it!

I’d be a driver because it is my favorite club.
What is your dream course to play?
Augusta National
