A&M freshman Anna
Jonsson brings international
outlook to Women's Golf Team
BY TOM KENNEDY
The Battalion
When freshman golfer Anna
Jonsson first arrived at Texas A&M,
she received a warm reception, but
it wasn’t from the friendly student
body.
“The heat was a lot for me
[compared to Sweden], because I
got here on the 20th of August,”
Jonsson said. “But I liked the cam
pus a lot.”
She said that the adjustment has
not been as difficult because she
has friends from Sweden who have
made the move easier for her.
“I have a lot of friends that go to
different schools [in America],”
Jonsson said. “So I knew what to
and last fall, in her first season at
A&M, she led the team in scoring
average.
A&M women’s golf coach
Jeanne Sutherland said Jonsson’s
work ethic has been a key factor in
the success of Jonsson and the
team.
“She is really going for excel
lence with whatever she does,
whether it is in the classroom, on
the golf course or in the weight
room,” Sutherland said. “When
ever she puts forth an effort, it is a
first-class effort.”
expect.
A&M’s combination of golf and
academic reputation, along with
junior teammate and fellow Swede
Anna Becker’s recruiting skills,
were the deciding factors that
brought Jonsson to A&M. Becker,
who has the same hometown as
Jonsson, said she encouraged Jon
sson to commit to A&M for many
reasons.
“She’s a freshman and she’s
good, so she can show the other
freshmen that being a freshman is
not a protection [from high expec
tations],” Becker said. “It’s fun for
me that she’s playing well because
I helped bring her here.”
The pressure of being a Swedish
National Team member has not
seemed to faze Jonsson, as evi
denced by her individual title at the
GTE “Mo” Morial Invitational in
College Station Feb. 22.
The victory made Jonsson the
first A&M freshman to win a tour
nament since 1995.
Jonsson said her ability to play
a steady game during rough condi
tions enabled her to clinch the vic

tory.
“The win was no surprise,” Jon
sson said. “I played [the course]
right, and a lot of people struggled
in the wind.”
Success is not a new concept to
Jonsson. She has played on nu
merous national teams since she
began playing golf at age nine.
Like many A&M golfers, Jons
son said she believes her golfing
will continue after college on the
professional ranks, yet she is hesi
tant to state her plans.
“When I’m done here I will
turn pro,” Jonsson said. “Right
now it’s good for me just to be
here and not worry too much
about the future. I could have
stayed home and turned pro after
high school.”
In the meantime, Jonsson is fo
cusing on earning her degree in in
dustrial distribution.
She said the possibility of earn
ing professional money has not
caused her to blow off her studies.
“Just because you turn pro
doesn’t mean you will make a lot
of money,” Jonsson said. “I also
don’t plan on playing [profession
ally] for the rest of my life.”
