Our congratulations to Naomi Ko on the announcement of being named Women’s Player of the Year by the PNGA.
Naomi finished her freshman season last spring as a member of the North Carolina State women’s golf team with a T5 at the Women’s ACC Conference Championship and followed that up in early May earning medalist honours at the US Women’s Open Qualifier at the PNGA owned Home Course in Dupont, WA. Naomi secured a spot in July’s LPGA Cambia Portland Classic Open by winning the Cambia Portland Classic Amateur Open in early June before heading across country to compete in the Porter Cup, one week later, where she finished T7. At the 115th PNGA Women’s Amateur in late July, Naomi took home medalist honours and finished as runner-up to Princess Superal. Naomi capped her impressive year on the Canadian amateur circuit finishing T7 at the Canadian Women’s Amateur and then winning the Canadian Junior Girls’ Championship before heading to Mexico to compete for Team Canada in the World Amateur Team Championship where she finished T6. Naomi is also a member of the Canadian National Team. In 2014, she was named the PNGA Junior Girls’ Player of the Year.
