At the Asia Pacific Amateur Championship, 37 golfers among the 120-player Asia Pacific field are either playing U.S. college golf or have committed to 31 universities 😳.
Why? Per the GD article, and also duh, it’s difficult to compete with the elite coaches, competition, practice facilities, education and exposure found in US collegiate golf.
There’s also the ability to play courses like Cypress Point, as Lin points out.
“I got to U Dub and the people in Seattle, they are just so passionate about sports,” he says. “They support us so much. We have donors that bring us to courses like Cypress Point, Pasatiempo and Pebble Beach, and other really nice courses before tournaments."
