Over this 30-minute conversation, Ilirian shares the story behind his golf journey, from early beginnings to his breakout wins on the Vancouver Golf Tour (VGT). He opens up about the mindset that drives his game, how he approaches pressure and competition, and what it means to represent Albania on an international stage.
