Cyclone women golfers win Big 12 - Now on to NCAA Championships!

Heck yeah, congrats!

College sports are so funny. I assume the original intent of Title ix was to provide opportunities for American women yet the entire roster is from Thailand, Australia, China, and Spain. Not hating or anything, just find it funny.

Anyways Cyclones winning championships is always good to see!

10-12 years ago my family and I were at a Subway and shared a table with the KU Women’s coach. She mentioned then that if you want your daughter to get a scholarship, have them play golf. She couldn’t find any golfers that wanted to play.
 
Look at the LPGA. Yes, Nellie Korda is #1, but she’s the only american in the world top 10. Chevron Championship had 9 americans in the top 45.

College tennis,cross country and golf are one in the same in this country. Patrick McEnroe recently posted on X about the SEC men's tennis championship finals. Six singles matches being played,12 players and only 2 from the USA.

Cydnote: My grandfather came to America from Czechoslovakia at the age of 18, and my father couldn't speak English when he entered 1st grade. Although I took some ribbing at times, I've always been proud of my heritage. I didn't realize until recently that Chechia and Czech Republic are both correct and acceptable names for the country. "Czechia" is the official short-form name (similar to "France" vs. "French Republic") adopted in 2016 to make it easier to use in sports, media, and branding.
 
Big 12 gave a nod to Celia with the Cyclonitas. Made me sad to think about that again.
I understand what you're saying. Made me smile though to know she is still in their thoughts. And everyone else who's posted about her here.
