BOULDER – University of Colorado's Brittany Fan and Robyn Choi earned honorable mention to the 2018 Women's Golf Coaches Association NCAA Division I All-America team.
Fan and Choi are the fourth and fifth Colorado individuals to be honored by a collegiate women's golf All-America program joining Emily Talley (2011-12), Alex Stewart (2011-12) and Esther Lee (2014-15 & '15-16).
Fan, a native of Pearl City, Hawai'i, was second on the team in stroke average as a senior at 73.16 and led the Buffaloes with 12 Top 20 finishes. A 2018 honorable mention All-Pac-12 Conference pick, Fan won the Meadow Club Women's Collegiate, March 5-6, at 4-under par.
She was Colorado's top finisher in five of the final seven tournaments of the season including a seventh place showing at the Pac-12 Championship and a sixth place effort at the NCAA San Francisco Regional. Fan graduated as Colorado's all-time stroke leader at 74.24 (min. 100 rounds) and ranks second Top 20 finishes (29), fourth in rounds under par (19) and fifth in low score in relation to par average (+2.34).
Choi, a sophomore from Gold Coast, Australia, led the Buffaloes in stroke average at 72.67 and score in relation to par at +31 (+0.79 avg) in 2017-18. A 2018 All-Pac-12 selection, she also led Colorado with five Top 5 finishes and 17 rounds of par or better.
Choi set or tied 13 single-round, tournament or season records in 2017-18, most notably rounds in a season (39), fall stroke average (71.93) and rounds under par (13). At the NCAA Championship alone she set new standards for best national finish (21st), 18-hole score (70 – 3rd Round), 54-hole score (220) and 72-hole score (292).
"Very proud of Robyn and Brittany for being named to the honorable mention All-American team," Colorado head coach Anne Kelly said. "This is a prestigious award and they both worked very hard and performed well this year – it is an honor Robyn and Brittany greatly deserve."
