COLUMBUS, Ga. – Texas A&M golfer Cayetana Fernández García-Poggio was named to the 2023-24 ANNIKA Award Preseason Watch List, the organization announced Monday.
Fernández García-Poggio began her collegiate career at the Carmel Cup at the historic Pebble Beach Golf Links. In the first round of her college career, the freshman shot 2-under 70 and then went on to come in 11th among the elite field. The Spaniard is ranked as the No. 2 amateur in the world by the World Amateur Golf Ranking and was also named a Golf Channel preseason First-Team All-American.
The Maroon & White was voted as the No. 3 team in the country by the Women's Golf Coaches Association to open the 2023-24 campaign. The Aggies are entering the third year under head coach Gerrod Chadwell, who last season won a school-record five tournament titles and has brought the team to the Final Four of the NCAA Championships in back-to-back years.
Texas A&M and Cayetana Fernández García-Poggio are scheduled to compete at the ANNIKA Intercollegiate Monday-Wednesday. The field consists of 12 of the best programs in the country and marks the second outing of the season for the Aggies.
