#BigSkyGolf Q&A w/ Idaho's Sophie Hausmann
Sophie Hausmann is a senior on the University of Idaho women's golf team. Hausmann is the reigning Big Sky Women's Golfer and Individual Player of the Year, and is set to compete in the inaugural Augusta National Women's Amateur. The 72-player field features the top female amateur golfers in the world. The event will take place April 3-6, at Champions Retreat Golf Club and Augusta National.
What made you decided to attend Idaho?
I got in contact with the coach early on and we got along very well. I felt like she cared about me. Also, I started majoring in PGA Golf Management, so I thought “sweet” because I wanted to do sports management. It was also good to get a full scholarship, because it would have been hard financially.
What was a personal goal of yours heading into this season?
Final steps for getting ready to turn professional, making it to nationals, and winning a conference team championship.
What’s the best course that you have ever played at?
Shoal Creek in Alabama
You’re in your senior season. What has been one of your most memorable moments while at Idaho?
I think all of the times when we had a playoff at the conference championships and then again last year when we didn’t have to do a playoff. I’d also say my first regionals was nice. I played at Stanford and loved the course.
Favorite golfer? Bubba Watson and Tiger Woods
Favorite color? Pink
Favorite flavor of ice cream? Chocolate
Favorite thing to do besides golf? Skiing
Best dancer on your team? Grace Frazier
