When did I start playing golf:
I'm quite an athletic person, playing tennis, playing in the football team for La Cala de Mijas three times a week and of course, playing golf since I was little with my father and my friends on the weekends. Some afternoons after school, I train on the Par 3 course at La Cala Resort (I am member of the David Leadbetter Golf Acadedmy).
Besides all this, I am a normal guy and very quiet, I enjoy walking, going to the beach and one of my favorite hobbies is playing video games with my friends.

Being finalist of World Golfers Championship: Going to South Africa to represent Spain is a dream come true. It's going to be an amazing experience that I am sure I will never forget, it’s still hard to believe that I am actually going. I'm very nervous and anxious to get there and do the best I can to make sure Spain is well represented and that we finish well.
