UA’s Quihuis joins exclusive golf club with Pac-12 honor 

Salpointe Catholic grad Krystal Quihuis was selected Pac-12 Freshman Golfer of the Year last week, which is a significant honor, especially for someone who grew up mostly playing the municipal courses in Southern Arizona. Since Arizona freshman Erica Blasberg was chosen Pac-12 Freshman Golfer of the Year in 2003, every golfer so honored has reached the LPGA Tour after college. In order: Hannah JunLouise StahleTiffany JohAnna NordqvistLizette SalasJennifer SongJennifer Johnson and Sophia Popov made it to the LPGA. Impressive company.
