BOULDER – Many athletes start playing their respective sports young, and University of Colorado freshman golfer Malak Bouraeda fits that bill. She was just three years old when she picked up a golf club, but that was not actually the first sport she tried.

"I actually started tennis at two," Bouraeda said. She added golf at three and soccer at four. Her father, Zach, was a professional tennis player and was a semi-professional soccer player, so those were the main focus in the beginning.
