By Craig Morgan, special to TheSunDevils.com

The Olympic women's golf tournament got underway on Wednesday in Rio de Janeiro, and that was significant on a couple fronts for Arizona State women's golf coach Missy Farr-Kaye. It was the first time since 1904 that an Olympics had included golf, and on the women's side, five former Sun Devils were competing for their respective nations – the most representing any NCAA program.

Miriam Nagl, who has dual citizenship in Germany and Brazil, is representing the host country. Carlota Cigonda and Azahara Muñoz are representing Spain, Anna Nordqvist is representing Sweden and Giulia Molinaro is representing Italy.
