TEMPE, Ariz. -- Linnea Strom is no shrinking violet when it comes to competition. The Sun Devils freshman golfer has already played in tournaments in Europe, Asia and the United States. She set a new Pac-12, 54-hole record to win the conference's individual title in April with a score of 11-under (205), and she is the No. 5 ranked player in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.
While that experience has steeled her for any challenge, Strom admitted life just won't feel right when she competes in the NCAA Tournament from May 20-25 at Eugene County Club in Eugene, Oregon without her teammates.
