CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – The Washington State women's golf team had two of its student-athletes recognized for their academic excellence by the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) this past Tuesday, July 6, as fifth-year senior Marie Lund-Hansen and junior Amy Chu were both named WGCA All-American Scholars.
A total of 1,432 women's collegiate golfers recognized with this prestigious honor. The criteria for selection to the WGCA All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent in all of college athletics. The minimum cumulative GPA is 3.50.
For Chu, this is her third-consecutive WGCA All-American Scholar selection after earning the honor in both 2019 and 2020. The Sydney, Australia native competed in all six tournaments for the Cougs during the 2021 spring campaign. She posted two top 35-finishes, ending in a tie for 29th at the Lamkin Invitational and placing 31st at the Meadow Club Invitational. Chu, who is a marketing major, holds a cumulative 3.75 GPA.
Lund-Hansen is a first-time WGCA All-American Scholar, as the Aabenraa, Denmark native, who is working on her Master's of Degree in Sport Management, collected a cumulative 3.90 GPA. She concluded her Cougar career by participating in four of WSU's six tournaments this past spring. Lund-Hansen began her season with back-to-back top-15 finishes, as she finished in a tie for 13th at the Lamkin Invitational and placed 11th at the Sun Devil Winter Classic.
