Eagle Rock Golf Club
Kim recently closed the book on the most decorated career in Northwestern women's golf history. The Chula Vista, California, native was a three-time WGCA All-American, and a two-time Golfweek All-American, and won three individual tournament tiles as a collegian. The two-time Big Ten Player of the Year, and two-time Mary Fossum Award winner, became just the 12th golfer in Big Ten history to earn four First Team All-Conference honors. She owns the lowest career scoring mark in Wildcats history and three of the four-lowest single-season marks, as well as the program's 18- and 54-hole scoring records.
A three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree, Kim will graduate from Northwestern later this month with a degree in communication studies.
Kim will be joined by a familiar face in Defiance, as rising junior Brooke Riley will compete as an amateur. The Manteca, California, native was the Wildcats top finisher at the 2018 NCAA Madison Regional, leading Northwestern through to the NCAA Championships with an outstanding final round 66.
