Get to Know Braeden ...
Why did you choose the University of Kansas?
- I chose KU because of the facilities and the location. There's also lots of opportunities here.
What is your home course and your favorite part about it?
- My home course is Geneva Golf Club in Alexandria, Minnesota. I like it because it's challenging, but there are a lot of opportunities for birdies.
What sport would you play if you did not play golf and why?
- I would play hockey if I wasn't a golfer because it was the first sport I ever played.
Is there any golfer that you try to model your game after?
- I try to model my game after Max Homa because his swing is so simple.
