Who is your favourite golfer?
My favourite golfer is Sung Hyun Park, this year’s US Open winner. I love her swing, the way she manages her play and how she keeps the temper and calm during a round.
What’s your favourite club in your bag?
My favourite club is the wedge. I like it because you can do a lots of different shots with it and it is funny to try new tricky shots.

For the moment, I think my biggest achievement of my whole golf career was when I turned professional because that was totally a new start for me and the moment when I finally made a decision to dedicate my time in this sport.

My favourite golf course is El Cortijo, where I practice. The course is really tricky and long. I wish it was in better conditions but personally I really love to play this course.

Music. I really love to listen to music. It relaxes me and lets me disconnect from the worries.

I don’t have any superstitions before a round but when I am wearing a sweater before a round I don’t take it off during the play.
What is your most memorable sporting moment?
I don’t have anything special but I think it is every tournament I play. I hadn’t played many tournaments before turning pro and I am very happy to see my improvements in each tournament I play and how I grow up learning from them.
Do you listen to music before your round?
No I don’t, I prefer to concentrate on my day’s feelings without it
