"Rayan is a true student of the game — when he struggles with something, he puts in the time and effort to get it right. I work with over 20 high-level junior golfers, and Rayan stands out as one of the most committed players I coach. Over the past several weeks he's made significant improvements, and as a result has already begun posting some of his lowest and most consistent scores to date. I have no doubt he will continue to develop into a strong and well-rounded player."
