Get to Know Lily...Â
Who is your biggest role model and why?Â
- My biggest role model is Justin Rose because he is not just a great golfer but a great person too. He's done a lot for the game of golf and I love his attitude on and off the golf course.Â
- The last song I listen to before I tee off is "You Get What You Give" by the New Radicals.Â
- I used to play in a brass band and played other musical instruments.Â
- Soccer, I used to play at a high school level and when I was younger.Â
- Royal Birkdale GC, I shot a career low 10-under par and broke the ladies' course record.Â
