ASU women’s golf: International roster paying off for Sun Devils
From Phoenix, Arizona to Siena, Italy, Arizona State women’s golf spans 6,041 miles across the Atlantic in its internationally-dominated roster.
No two plays on the reigning 2017 NCAA Champions come from the same country, as the roster is built with an Italian, Spaniard, German, Irish and an American. The team recently lost Swedish junior Linnea Strom, who made the decision in December to play professionally.
“Their commonalities are so strong,” head coach Missy Farr-Kaye said. “They are all elite athletes.”
Farr-Kaye’s recruiting strategy is find the best players regardless of geographic ties, which has taken her overseas over summer breaks.
