The BYU women's golf team will have a highly touted freshman to add to the roster next fall. Angela Bradford, a senior at Provo's Timpview High School, signed her letter of intent in the early NCAA signing period to play with the Cougars.
Women's golf coach Gary Howard said he is more than pleased to add Bradford to the team.
'We are excited to sign Angela,' Howard said. 'She will help add a lot of depth to our team.'
And she is sorely needed. The team is young this year and will only have one senior going into the 1999-2000 season. The Cougars have seen some solid individual play this year from Carrie Summerhays and Jamie Stevenson but still are in need of several consistently low scorers.
Bradford already has an impressive list of accolades. In 1998, she won the Utah State Junior Amateur Championship. She also made the final cut of the Junior World team and was named to the Americas Cup Team.
In three American Junior Golf Association Tournaments, Bradford has already nabbed a 14th place finish and was in the top 35 at the others. Even as a young teenager, Bradford won two statewide junior tournaments in the 15-18 age group, and in 1995, she was named Utah Junior Player of the Year.
