Amelia Wan: Nottinghamshire teenager eyes new golfing heights with US college move

Nottinghamshire teenager Amelia Wan hopes to take her golf game to new heights with a move to college in the United States.

The 18-year-old, whose run of recent successes includes winning the Welsh Women’s Stroke Play Championship by seven shots in May, will relocate her booming young career to Baylor University in Texas.

On a cold, grey and wet summer’s day playing a round at Coxmoor Golf Club in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Wan explained why she sees the move as “exciting”.

“It’s good weather and a chance to play more golf,” Wan smiled in between practice holes with BBC East Midlands Today.

But the move to Texas from the Nottinghamshire market town of Newark is more than just about sunshine, with a place at Baylor University exposing her to the highest level of college golf in America.

“I hope it pushes me, playing with better players from across the world,” Wan said.

“This year I’ve got a better understanding of my swing, so I think going out there I will be able to play and know what I’m looking out for if I drop into any bad habits with my swing.”
