Baylor women’s golf has a new freshman in the program. Freshman Antonia Matte wasted no time letting everyone know about her ability when she tied for fourth individually at the Cougar Classic. Even with the early success, being 4,808 miles away from her hometown of Santiago, Chile, life has been far from easy. However, Matte said she doesn’t feel like Texas is much different from Chile. The hardest thing for her has been adjusting to the language barrier.

“It really has not been so different because Chile and Texas, they are pretty similar,” Matte said.
