FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Ever since April 2017, when Blessings Golf Club was first announced as the host venue for the 2019 NCAA Division I Golf Championships, Maria Fassi had dreamed of moments like this.
The visons, too many to count, showed the Arkansas senior and her head coach, Shauna Estes-Taylor, walking down the 18th fairway at the Razorbacks’ home course, in front of hundreds of Arkansas fans, holding hands, about to put the finishing touches on a national championship.
On Monday, that dream finally became a reality.
“I’ve seen it in my head I don’t know how many times,” said Fassi, who closed in 5-under 68 to run away with the NCAA individual title.
