Aggies Jennie Park Earns Women's Golf Coaches Association All-America Second Team
Texas A&M Aggies women's golf standout Jennie Park led the squad with a 72.03 stroke average this past season - good enough for fifth best in program history. Along the way, she also scored nine top-15 finishes and five top-10.
That's earned her a spot on the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) All-America Second Team.
Park, who hails from Carrollton, Texas, helped the Aggies to their first SEC title since 2015. She came in ninth in stroke play and went 2-1 during match play, including a 6&5 win during her championship match.
It's Park's second WGCA All-America honor, as she was awarded with WGCA All-America Honorable Mention accolades last year. Park also earned All-SEC Second Team honors this year and led A&M to its second-consecutive NCAA Semifinal appearance.
Park also received an invitation to play at the Augusta National Women's Amateur back in March as one of 72 of the world's best amateurs to participate in the event.
"I'm so excited to be invited to the Augusta women's amateur this year," Park said after the invitation. "This was one of my biggest goals starting my senior year. It took a lot of patience and hard work to get to where I am today in my golf career and this invite is one of my biggest achievements. I can't wait to go and compete with the best amateurs around the world and have an experience of a lifetime!"
Park finished tied for ninth at the tournament at 1-over par with a finishing score of 217.
