Broze, Chen Give Cowgirl Golf Multiple All-Big 12 Nods For 19th Straight Year
April 26, 2018 | Cowgirl Golf
STILLWATER – For the 19th consecutive season, the Oklahoma State women's golf team placed multiple student-athletes on the All-Big 12 Conference team.
Senior Emma Broze earned her third career All-Big 12 nod, while junior Chih-Min Chen was selected for the second time. The pair represents the 14th and 15th All-Big 12 selections under fifth-year head coach Courtney Jones, who will lead the No. 16 Cowgirls into NCAA Regional play next week in San Francisco, California.
Outside of 1997 and 1998, the opening two years of the conference, the Cowgirls have placed at least two golfers on every all-conference team. In all, Cowgirls have accounted for 55 All-Big 12 selections, which is 21 more than the next closest league foe.
Broze is playing the best golf of her career in 2017-18, and leads the Cowgirls with a 73.58 stroke average. The senior has finished 11th or better in all six events this spring, including a second-place finish at the Dale McNamara Invitational in Tulsa.
Chen, the 2016 Big 12 Freshman of the Year, is back in top form for the Cowgirls. The junior finished third at the Big 12 Championships last weekend and owns a 74.17 stroke average in 2017-18.
Oklahoma State will play in its 25th consecutive NCAA Regional on May 5-7 at the TPC Harding Park in San Francisco. The low six teams and the low three individuals not on those teams at each of the four NCAA Regional sites (for a total of 24 teams and 12 individuals) advance to the NCAA Championships, which are being hosted by OSU from May 18-23 at Karsten Creek, the home of Oklahoma State golf.
