Tulsa Women’s Golf Adds Major Mid-Year Signee

Tulsa, OK - Shiao-Yun (Sammy) Liu has signed a national letter-of-intent to continue her education and golf career at The University of Tulsa, it was announced today by Golden Hurricane coach Annie Young

Liu will enroll at Tulsa for the spring semester and be immediately eligible.

“We are very excited to have Sammy join our team. She is a very experienced and accomplished golfer who is going to be a great addition in the spring,” said Young.

Out of high school Liu initially seemed headed to the Golden State rather than the Golden Hurricane, signing a letter of intent with Los Angeles-based Pepperdine University.

At the time Pepperdine coach Laurie Gibbs had said: "Sammy has traveled the world competing in many of the top junior championships with excellent finishes. She is an experienced junior golfer that we believe will transition into college golf very well."

Liu, from Hsinchu, Taiwan, has one win and nine top top-ten finishes in recent competition, finishing first at the Yeangder Amateur Classic in Taipei in June. In 2017 she carded a 67 at an American Junior Golf Association Qualifier in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Liu stood 20th in the Junior Golf Scoreboard rankings for the class of 2018. She is currently ranked 1,003 by the World Amateur Golf Association - one of three world-ranked players in Coach Young’s squad.

Tulsa opens the spring season at the Texas State Invitational, Feb. 11-12, at the Plum Creek Golf Course in Kyle, Texas.
