BGGA Student
Cynthia Tu (2019)
Verbally Commits to BYU
BGGA student Cynthia Tu has verbally committed
to play on the Brigham Young University (BYU)
women’s golf team when she graduates high school
in May 2019.
Tu only started playing golf four years ago and has
quickly developed talents sought after by many
Division I golf programs. Her love for golf began on
a Sunday afternoon round with her father and his
friends and is paying off for her now.
“I got started in golf late,” said Tu. “I started playing
four years ago. I didn’t know what golf was until one
day I went to a Sunday round with my dad and it was
quite fun.”
The junior from Virginia is in her first year at BGGA.
Tu came to the Academy not knowing anything
about the college placement process but was quickly
brought up to speed. Her verbal commitm ent comes
just six months after starting the process.
“Honestly, I thought I would commit by this summer
or early into my senior year,” said Tu. “This was a really
early commitment for me thanks to BGGA’s college
placement team. I feel like a huge weight has been
lifted off of me.”
BYU is located in Provo, Utah and checked all of Tu’s
boxes in what she wanted in a college golf program.
“They are a Division I golf school and have good
academics,” said Tu. “The coaches and team have a
great dynamic. I really loved it. “
Tu is excited about where golf is taking her as it is a
sport that challenges her every day. She loves that
every day is different and that in college she’ll be
competing at a higher level in preparation for turning
professional in the future.
