Wildcats' Quihuis keeps grinding on day off

Late Friday afternoon, in the heat of the day, I was in a line at the Randolph Golf Course driving range with 20 or 30 other golf wannabes. The only golfer who seemed out of place was UA junior Krystal Quihuis. She hit range balls for about an hour and then went to work on her short game. Friday should’ve been a day off for Quihuis, a two-time state champion from Salpointe Catholic, and the Pac-12’s 2015 Freshman of the Year. She had returned from the Annika Intercollegiate near Orlando, Florida, a day earlier, and is preparing for the Windy City Collegiate Classic near Chicago that begins Monday. Except for sophomore standout Haley Moore, a potential first-team All-American, the Wildcats didn’t play well under ex-Wildcat Annika Sorenstam’s gaze last week. To her credit, Quihuis got right back to work in an attempt to help her team back into the top 10 polls.
