Golfing talent gives more students from China a shot at US scholarships

Stanford freshman Emily Wang Ziyi had a high SAT score, was a student union president and enjoyed reading, writing, calligraphy, music and jogging. But what really helped the 18-year-old get into the elite US university was something rarer: her potential to be an international golf star.

"Emily is the epitome of a student-athlete," said Stanford golf head coach Anne Walker. "She has pursued an extremely rigorous academic schedule in Beijing and, at the same time, traveled internationally to compete in the best golf events."

Many Chinese families with children who golf were also overjoyed at Stanford's decision, but for a more practical reason. For them, a golf scholarship from such a prestigious US university was another testimonial affirming a unique strategy of college preparation that centers on the game as a scholarship vehicle.

In the past few years, dozens of Chinese students have played golf on US sports scholarships that were won after years of hard training and with considerable parental investment in money and time.

The trend has accelerated since 2015, and there is now a bigger crop ripe for the picking, with almost 20 students from the Chinese mainland signing with golf programs at universities including Stanford, Princeton, University of Southern California, University of Washington and University of California, Berkeley, according to American Junior Golf Association, which tracks students' commitments to college offers.

While Wang is the youngest ever to win the China LPGA Tour, several others have the same, if not more illustrious, golf resumes, despite their youthfulness.

They include University of Florida freshman Andy Zhang, who, at the age of 14, was the youngest golfer ever to compete in the US Open.

Beijing native Jin Cheng, 18th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, is a USC freshman.

He Muni, who was born in Chengdu, is known for amateur appearances at pro events and top junior finishes. She will compete on the USC women's team in the spring.
