The Next Stage

I’m not entirely sure what I will study at ASU – I’m still deciding – but most likely it will be something to do with business. I know that golf seems so boring to a lot of people, but obviously I don't agree with that! Golf has changed my life in so many ways; the way I approach and solve problems, the way I treat people, the way I work with others, my manners, and my positive outlook on life.

I still remember the first time I played on a real golf course. I shot 138. Back then I would never have thought that in just 10 years I would be on the team of such an elite golfing school as ASU. Time has just flown by. I can also clearly remember the first junior tournament I played in. It was the 2002 Junior Close at Clearwater Bay, where I ended up finishing in fourth. Just a few weeks ago I finished my last junior event there, the Junior Open. I didn’t play my best, but I really enjoyed the tournament. It is just so surreal to think that I am basically done with my junior golf career.

Although this chapter of my life may be closing, I am extremely excited about the next four years playing golf as a Sun Devil. I will work extremely hard to make everyone who has supported me proud, and I plan on representing Hong Kong in any tournament that I can. It is always an honour to wear the Hong Kong shirt in competition – once a team member, always a team member! That will never change. –As told to David Cunningham III

Sporting School – Arizona State University

Located in the metropolitan area of downtown Phoenix, Arizona State University is the largest university in the United States by enrollment. It is currently made up of just over 70,000 students that reside on 6.2 square kilometers of total campus space. The university offers a variety of programs to its students, including engineering, journalism, business, and law.
ASU is a Division One school and is a member of the Pacific-12 Conference. It is one of the most respected universities athletically in the United States. The school has won 23 NCAA National Championships, nine of which have been in golf.
The athletic facilities at ASU match its impressive championship record. The Karsten Golf Course – named after Karsten Solheim, the founder of equipment company PING, who largely funded the project – is ASU’s own and lies in the shadow of the famous 74,000-seat Sun Devil stadium, where the college's American football teams plays. The course is a links-style layout designed by Pete Dye and will provide the perfect place for Tiffany and her teammates to hone their skills in the years ahead.—DC III
