Yorkville<\/a>, senior<\/p>\nSport: Golf<\/p>\n
Why he was selected: Humbers shot rounds of 37 and 37 to help lead the Foxes to four wins in two SPC triangular matches.<\/p>\n
He was selected the Athlete of the Week in an online vote. Here is his interview with Sports Editor Joshua Welge.<\/p>\n
Welge: How do you feel about the start to the season?<\/p>\n
Humbers: I am pretty happy with how the season is going so far as I feel like I\u2019ve played pretty good golf. It has been nice to get off to a good start this year to help put me in a better position going forward throughout the rest of the season to succeed on the course.<\/p>\n
Welge: How did you get started in golf? What did the sport appeal to you?<\/p>\n
Humbers: I started playing golf about two months prior to my freshman season. I started playing because I had a few close friends that I had played baseball with make the switch over to golf. I found it entertaining to watch and also figured that it wasn\u2019t a drastic change mechanically in the swing since I was coming from baseball, making the switch a little easier.<\/p>\n
Welge: What is the most memorable round you\u2019ve had?<\/p>\n
Humbers: My most memorable round was when I shot under par on 9 holes for the first time. It sticks out to me as I played relatively bad the day before, leading me to have lower expectations for the round, only for it to end up as one of my favorite rounds.<\/p>\n
Welge: What\u2019s the toughest course you\u2019ve played on? Is there a course you haven\u2019t played but would like to?<\/p>\n
Humbers: The toughest course I have ever played was Arizona National in Tucson. The greens were by far the quickest I have ever played on and also being in the mountains made it difficult. I would love to play TPC Sawgrass as The Players Championship is one of my favorite events on tour.<\/p>\n
Welge: Do you have a pro player you like?<\/p>\n
Humbers: My favorite tour pro is probably Viktor Hovland because he always maintains a positive attitude when playing.<\/p>\n
Welge: What\u2019s some goals for the rest of the season?<\/p>\n
Humbers: My biggest goals for the rest of the season are to win a tournament as an individual or team, earn all-conference honors and to qualify for state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Name: Carter Humbers School: Yorkville, senior Sport: Golf Why he was selected: Humbers shot rounds of 37 and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":119184,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,66417,82],"class_list":["post-119183","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-golf","tag-illinois-high-school-boys-basketball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119183","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119183"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119183\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119184"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
