Alexandra Kaui went to Oklahoma in 2013 with dreams of winning the national championship, and nearly accomplished that goal as a freshman.
But problems down the stretch of the NCAA championship kept her from the individual title, and instead prompted her Sooners coaches to change her swing.
That began a downward slide for Kaui, who after her sophomore year realized she needed to return to Las Vegas and play for UNLV and get instruction from her local swing coach, Mike Davis.
“We worked very closely together in everything he was doing with Alex to help her come back, to help her confidence, and so it was really a team effort between the two of us,” coach Amy Bush-Herzer said.
