BOULDER — The University of Colorado women's golf coach Anne Kelly has announced the signing of Sophie Johnson, a native of Telford, Shropshire, England, to a National Letter of Intent. Â
Â
"We are thrilled to have Sophie Johnson join our team next season," Kelly said. "I was able to watch her in the British Girls Junior this summer was impressed with her golf swing and game, but also how she managed and conducted herself on the course. I believe she is the type of student-athlete that will excel here at CU."
Â
A very accomplished golfer, Johnson has won several tournaments in her young career. She was the Shropshire U18 Champion in 2016 and '18, the 2018 Shropshire Ladies County Champion and the 2016 Midland North U18 Champion. In December of 2017, she placed first at the Junior European Open at the Alcadeisa Golf and Country Club. She was a member of the England National U18 Team (2016, '17) and was a member of the English Schools International Team (2017, '18). Johnson was also undefeated at County Match Week in 2016, '17 and '18.
Â
Her best career round is a 10-under 65 at the Northamptonshire County Golf Course during the British Schools and Colleges Tour.
Â
Johnson decided to come to CU because of the world class facilities and the welcoming coaches and teammates.
