EUGENE, Ore. – The Oregon women’s golf program bolstered its roster depth for the upcoming 2022-23 season on Friday as head coach Derek Radley officially announced the signing of junior transfer Ashleigh Park.
Park will join the Ducks after spending her first two collegiate seasons at the University of Texas.
“I am extremely excited to welcome Ashleigh to our team,” Radley said. “She has proven to be successful on the biggest stage in college golf and will add depth to our already extremely talented roster.
“When Coach Mo and I arrived in Eugene in 2018, Ashleigh was our very first recruit to visit and it’s amazing how things work out. She comes from an incredible support system at home and we look forward to providing that same fun and positive environment for her now that she’s a part of our Duck family. Sky is the limit with this incredibly talented young lady.”
Park competed in three tournaments as a sophomore for Texas last season, with five of her nine rounds counting to the team score. She carded a season-best 71 during the final round of the The Bruzzy, and her stellar work in the classroom earned her a spot on the Academic All-Big-12 first team.
A a freshman in 2020-21, Park posted a 73.92 scoring average while playing in nine tournaments and 26 total rounds. She went low with a 5-under 67 at the Wildcat Invitational and recorded her first career top-five finish, and she tied for the eighth-best 18-hole round in Texas history with a season-low 66 at the Mountain View Collegiate.
Park closed her freshman season with two top-10 finishes, three top-15 showings and six top-20 finishes, helping the Longhorns advance to the match play quarterfinals at the NCAA Championships. She was also a WGCA All-America Scholar, and earned a spot on the Big 12 Academic All-Rookie team.
Park entered college as a two-time AJGA winner and the No. 52 ranked player in the AJGA Rolex Rankings. She earned five wins in the Toyota Tour Cup, including her first at the age of 12.
