Our guest today is Kengo Aoshima, a rising junior on the UCLA Golf Team, after transferring from Wake Forest last Winter. He averaged 70.65 in his freshman year at Wake Forest and earned a spot onto the 2019 Arnold Palmer Cup International Team. Afterwards, he made the cut at a Japan Tour event, the Shigeo Nagashima Invitational, shooting 70-72-72-71 / -3. He just played at the 2020 U.S Amateur at Bandon Dunes and is preparing to make an impact at UCLA!
Kengo and I dive into how he transformed his game in his redshirt year and what he learned from legendary coach Jerry Haas at Wake Forest
We discuss his opportunity of playing with the best amateurs in the world at the Arnold Palmer Cup and what it meant for him to be selected.
We dive into the experiences and lessons he has learned from playing with the pros on the Japan Tour.
