At USF (2006-07): Showed flashes of brilliance as a freshman... competed in nine events for San Francisco... carded the lowest round by a Don with a four-under 68 in the second round of the 2007 UNLV Spring Rebel Invitational... shot even par at UNLV (74, 68, 74), good for a share of 16th place... posted six top-20 showings, finished in the top-10 three times and was fifth or better once... tied for fourth in blustery conditions at the 2007 Papa John's Collegiate at 230 (77, 76, 77)... turned in two under-par rounds.
Prep/Amateur Career: Youngest player to win the Ladies Cheshire County Championship in 2004 at 16 and successfully defended title in 2005... finished tied for third at the English Ladies Strokeplay... earned a spot on the England Elite Under-21 Squad... finished second in the Northern Girls Close Championship, breaking the course record in the first round... lowest tournament round came at the Royal Birkdale Scratch Trophy firing a 6 under par 66.
Personal: Natasha Podmore... goal for the season is to lower her stroke average and improve strength and fitness... chose USF for the amazing city, great facilities and top golf coach... biggest sports thrill was winning the Cheshire County Ladies Championship at 16 years old... best advice ever given is you can achieve anything if you work hard enough... favorite sports heroes are Ernie Els and Tiger Woods... favorite movie is Billy Elliot... favorite book is Tuesdays with Morrie... enjoys listening to music, shopping and reading in her spare time... parents are Brendan and Sandra Podmore... born August 25, 1987 in Warrington, England.
