NORMAN, Okla.—Continuing to build upon their golfing successes, San José State women's golfers Natasha Andrea Oon, Kajsa Arwefjäll and Antonia Malate have been named to the 2022 Arnold Palmer Cup teams announced today. The matches will be played at Golf Club de Genève in Switzerland, July 1-3, 2022.
The Arnold Palmer Cup is a Ryder Cup-style tournament featuring the top men's and women's university/college golfers matching the United States against a team of International players, the only major tournament which features men and women playing side-by-side as partners.
Oon and Arwefjäll will play for the International team, while Malate will be part of Team USA. They are the first participants from San José State to play at the Arnold Palmer Cup. San José State is also only one of four schools to be represented by more than one player – Stanford, 4; San José State, 3; Arizona State 2; Wake Forest 2.
