Diego Passos '23 Recruiting Profile

My dream is to be one of the best professional golfer in the world. My family and I came from Brazil to US in 2016 when I began to play junior golf. In 5 years, I feel that I evolved dramatically because I love golf and I love to go after my dream. Although, I am aware that I have room to improve my swing  (it is fair but not excellent), I believe my differentials are the recovery and shotmaking skills. I'm not afraid of taking risks when the situation calls for it but I am also learning to calculate risk-reward situations.

In order to pursue my dream, I decided to upgrade my coaching towards a more professional level. Since June/21, I switched to Ryan Crysler at Butch Harmon Academy as my swing coach. I also introduced a mental coach, Seth Pepper, to help me making on course decisions as well as fitness. As sometimes happens, you need one step back to move two forward. With so many changes in my swing and in my habits, my tournament results in the past summer were painful but I'm sure I'm in the right track. I see college golf as an opportunity to learn and grow towards my ultimate goal.
