Freshmen Defying the Odds

MikkelGolf.com Newsletter #20

This week, I had the opportunity of writing an article for Clippd. In the article, we look at the performances of two incredible freshmen in college golf this year - Wenyi Ding and Jackson Koivun. I write about both my experience with freshmen in college golf (including Ludvig Åberg), and the probabilities of being a ranked player as a freshman. I will let the article serve as this week’s newsletter. Hope you enjoy it!
