Michael OKeefe '16 Recruiting Profile

I am a leader with high aspirations and a proven track record of success in both the classroom and on the golf course. I am not afraid of hard work or commitment, I make a great impression and am a remarkably mature and dedicated individual. I am looking for a collegiate experience that challenges me academically and sets the groundwork for my future in business, but also one that allows me the time I will need to practice and compete on a golf team, one of my most favorite things in the world. I have been working hard on my game and have had my most significant season to date this past summer with recognition at an international level, which was really rewarding for me. I finished 7th at the Veritas World Junior at Tustin Ranch, CA with a 74, 74, 78 and 11th at the Optimist International Tournament at PGA National with a 73, 74, 73, 74 in July. I just finished my golf season winning my second consecutive state individual title and finished my high school career as class valedictorian with a perfect 4.0 throughout my career. I am truly looking forward to taking my golf to the next level and know I will be an asset both academically and on the course. I look forward to interviewing in person where I might begin to prove these things firsthand.
