Remembering Celia Barquín Arozamena, her humor, horses and hugs

LPGA Tour hopeful Celia Barquín Arozamena was murdered at Coldwater Golf Links in Ames, Iowa, on Sept. 17, 2018. Collin Richards pled guilty to first-degree murder on June 14, 2019, and was sentenced to life in prison last month. On the one-year anniversary of Barquín Arozamena's death, South Carolina senior golfer Ana Peláez Triviño, her teammate on the Spanish national team, salutes her beloved friend, the 2018 Big 12 Conference champion from Iowa State. Peláez Triviño and the Gamecocks are in Minneapolis this week for the Annika Intercollegiate -- exactly where she was last year when she learned Barquín Arozamena had been killed.
