DURHAM, N.C. Duke University head women's golf coach Dan Brooks announced on Saturday that freshman Mina Harigae has left the program to focus on her aspirations of turning professional in 2009.
“Mina is an exceptional golfer and we wish her all the best in her future,” said Brooks. ”If she works hard, she should have a very bright career in professional golf.”
Harigae, a native of Monterey, Calif., appeared in three tournaments during the fall for Duke as she notched a 71.13 stroke average, two top five and three top 20 finishes. A member of the 2008 U.S. Curtis Cup team, Harigae won the 2007 Women's Amateur Public Links (WAPL) Championship and played in the 2007 U.S. Women's Open in Pinehurst, N.C. She was also a three-time first team Rolex Junior All-America, three-time member of the Canon Cup West Team and two-time winner on the AJGA.
