Anteaters sign Choi

UC Irvine announced the signing of Minnie Choi to a national

letter of intent with the women’s golf program.

“I am thrilled to have signed Minnie,” head coach Kelly Crawford

said. “Our goal is to continue to add great players to our roster

each year and we have accomplished that goal by signing Minnie.”

Choi, from Fountain Valley High School, is currently ranked in the

top 20 in the world for this recruiting class by the Junior Golf

Scoreboard Rankings. She joined teammate Angela Won as the only two

Southern California high school girls players to average under par

for the regular season with a mark of 35.8.

She qualified for the 2002 United States Golf Association (USGA)

Girls Junior Championship where she advanced to match play. She won

the Girls Junior America’s Cup as well as the Toyota Cup at La

Quinta. She is a three-time first-team All-Sunset League honoree.

“Although she has only been playing golf for a couple of years,

she will play a key role for us next year,” Clark ended.
