10/1/10: Seo-Hee Moon ’14

By the staff | 9:58am January 03 2012

 

Colleges from all over the country recruited Seo-Hee Moon ’14, but the freshman golfing phenom chose Yale because, she told the Yale Daily News, “if golf didn’t work out for me in the future, I would want a strong educational background.” So far, the golf is looking pretty good. As individual champion, she led the Bulldog women to a first-place finish in the Princeton Invitational two weekends ago. This past weekend, she set a new women’s course record in her first match on the Yale golf course, recording a 67 on the last day of the Yale Women’s Intercollegiate tournament and leading the team to another win.

How does she do it? No secrets: just hard work and competitive drive, her coaches say. But she did offer some putting tips on a Seattle talk show last spring.
