Farr-Kaye Garners Additional National Coaching Honors

ORLANDO, Fla. – Head coach Missy Farr-Kaye of the 2017 NCAA national champion Arizona State women's golf team earns additional national coaching honors, named the Golfweek Division I Women's National Coach of the Year.
 
Farr-Kaye was earlier named National Coach of the Year by the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA), West Regional Coach of the Year, and Pac-12 Coach of the Year after leading the Sun Devils to a nation-high eighth NCAA championship last month.
 
The trifecta complete, Farr-Kaye has now won an NCAA title as a player (1990), an assistant coach (2009), and now a head coach (2017). She earned a national championship in 1990 under legendary head coach Linda Vollstedt, the first of six the Sun Devils would win in the 1990's.
 
Arizona State returns all but one from the national title team in 2017-18, losing NCAA individual medalist, Honda Award winner, and Pac-12 Women's Golfer of the Year Monica Vaughn to graduation.
 
The NCAA recently announced Arizona State will host three consecutive men's and women's Division I golf championships starting in 2020 at Scottsdale's Grayhawk Golf Club.
 
Oregon's Casey Martin was named Division I Men's Coach of the Year after leading the reigning national champion Ducks back to the title match in 2017.
