Wong Earns WGCA Scholar Honors
July 06, 2015 | Women's Golf
Rising senior Alexandra Wong has been named a Women's Golf Coaches Association All-America Scholar, a group that includes golfers carrying a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or better.
Wong was successful both in the classroom and on the course this season, earning first-team All-Ivy League honors with a fourth-place tie at the Ivy League Championships in April. That tournament was one of four between the fall and the spring in which Wong led the Princeton contingent, including her finish atop the leaderboard alongside teammate Tenley Shield at the Lehigh Invitational before Shield took the title in a playoff.
Wong, a student in Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, competed in all eight events between last fall and spring, and all but one of her 20 rounds came in under 80 strokes, including her season-low 73 in the second round at last fall's Penn State-hosted Nittany Lion Invitational.
