- D’Souza has been in Miami working on his game and playing on a local tour
Hong Kong golfer Leon D’Souza is “feeling really good” as continues his journey on the path to becoming a professional this week at the PGA Tour Canada Q-School tournament in Florida.
D’Souza, who is in his final year at the University of Southern California, is competing in the USA East 1 tournament at Weston Hills, which begins on Tuesday (US time).
The economics major has been in Miami for the past couple of weeks “practising every day and just working on my game” while also playing on a local tour in the area as part of his preparations.
“I’m feeling really good. My game has been developing nicely, practice has been really good and it’s been nice to be able to focus on things for a couple of weeks here now,” he said.
“I feel like my game is in a great spot. As with anything, you can’t force things, and that especially applies to golf.”
While D’Souza’s obvious aim is to get tour status, he considers this week to be a win-win opportunity as far as his overall game is concerned.
“The goal right now is to qualify and get tour status but it’s all a learning experience,” he said. “There’s no losing going into Q-School, if all I get is the experience then I can take that experience on into the next one. If I do qualify, then fantastic.
