MSU’s Yang To Be Featured On Golf Channel
February 21, 2017 | Women's Golf
STARKVILLE, Miss. — In 2016 Mississippi State women's golfer Athena Yang was selected to receive the ANNIKA Foundation ACE Grant from the American Junior Golf Association.
The grant is awarded in an effort to continue combating the cost of playing a national junior golf schedule for players without the financial resources. The AJGA entered its 14th year of implementing the Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Grant program in 2016.
The grant also exposes players to collegiate coaches. It was able to connect Yang to MSU coach Ginger Brown-Lemm, ultimately landing her at Mississippi State.
The Golf Channel has recently been doing a series on former recipients of the award and caught up with Yang in Orlando during the UCF Challenge.
The interview will air Wednesday, February 22, at the following times: 1 a.m., 4 a.m., 2 p.m., 3 p.m., and 7 p.m., all times CST.
Yang is a freshman at MSU and has been an immediate contributor, competing in all tournaments. She fired a
season low 218 at the UCF Challenge this season.
