Nottinghamshire teenager Amelia Wan hopes to take her golf game to new heights with a move to college in the United States.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 18-year-old, whose run of recent successes includes winning the Welsh Women’s Stroke Play Championship by seven shots in May, will relocate her booming young career to Baylor University in Texas.<\/p>\n
On a cold, grey and wet summer’s day playing a round at Coxmoor Golf Club in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Wan explained why she sees the move as “exciting”.<\/p>\n
“It’s good weather and a chance to play more golf,” Wan smiled in between practice holes with BBC East Midlands Today.<\/a><\/p>\n But the move to Texas from the Nottinghamshire market town of Newark is more than just about sunshine, with a place at Baylor University exposing her to the highest level of college golf in America.<\/p>\n “I hope it pushes me, playing with better players from across the world,” Wan said.<\/p>\n “This year I’ve got a better understanding of my swing, so I think going out there I will be able to play and know what I’m looking out for if I drop into any bad habits with my swing.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
