May 01, 2017 | Women's Golf
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Coach Ginger Brown-Lemm landed another talented member to the 2017-18 Mississippi State women's golf team on Monday with the addition of Spain standout Clara Moyano.
The Madrid, Spain, native joins MSU after playing her freshman season at the University of Idaho. Moyano earned All-Big Sky Conference honors for the Vandals after recording a 75.7 scoring average.
"Clara is a critical addition to our program," Brown-Lemm said. "She brings international level experience and was an all-conference performer at Idaho. She is smart and hungry for a championship. I look forward to working with Clara and having her as a member of our squad."
Her best outing of the 2016-17 season came at the Big Sky Championship, where she tied for second with a 5-over-par 221. Moyano played in eight events during her first collegiate season, finishing in the Top 10 twice and the Top 25 four times.
She earned Big Sky Golfer of the Week honors in October after tying for sixth at the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown behind rounds of 67 and 71.
Moyano came to the United States after attending IES Ortega y Gasset prep school in Madrid. She also played numerous international events, claiming first-place finishes at the Madrid Match Play Championship and Madrid Ranking.
She also tied for first in the sub-25 and sub-18 divisions at the Madrid Championships, earning her the opportunity to play against some of the top junior golfers in the country last December at the IMG Tournament Tour event in Florida.
