For one of the best golfers to strike a ball for the Madera Coyotes, her college decision was between going to a school and not play golf and going to a school to play golf.

Ultimately, Sydney Fernandez chose to play golf and continue a pipeline to York University in Nebraska.

“I’m glad and blessed that I have this opportunity,” she said. “I would have never thought that golf would get me to where I am now than other sports that are known to get scholarships. I didn’t even know there were golf scholarships that could lead to educational scholarships.”
