"I just love playing golf."
University of South Alabama sophomore Siti Shaari began playing golf at 6 years old. The youngest of three siblings, she traveled with her father to watch her sister compete in a junior league in Malaysia. She started practicing and began competing in tournaments at 7 years old. By the time she was 14, she made the decision to come to the U.S. to pursue college golf.
In May 2013, Shaari took the runner-up position in the U.S. Kids Golf Foundation European Championship at the Gullane Golf Club in Scotland. At a press conference for the next tournament in Malaysia, reporters asked the 14-year-old what she was going to do after she graduated from high school.
