COLUMBUS, Ga.—San Jose State senior women's golfer Natasha Andrea Oon has been named to the Spring ANNIKA Award Watch List honoring the top female U.S. collegiate golfer.
Oon is one of 14 women named to the watch list. The award is voted on by players, coaches and members of the college golf media.
Currently ranked eighth nationally by Golfstat, Oon has a 70.90 stroke average in 21 rounds played. She has finished in the top-three in three tournaments this spring and in the top-10 in six of the seven tournaments played this season. Last week, she finished second at the MountainView Collegiate with a 9-under 207.
This is the second time Oon has been on an ANNIKA Award Watch List. She was named to the 2019 Fall ANNIKA Award Watch List for the 2019-20 season. Unfortunately, that season ended early due to COVID-19.
Oon received a sponsor tournament invitation this week to The Chevron Championship at the Mission Hills Country Club, March 31-April 3, in Rancho Mirage, Calif.
