TUCSON, Ariz. – The Arizona Wildcats golf program has seen some of their future and past players turn in some memorable performances all over the world in the last week.
 
First, incoming freshman Vivian Hou, the younger sister of current Wildcat Yu-Sang Hou, won the Zhangjiagang Shuangshan Challenge last Friday. She matched the tournament scoring record with an eight-under 64 to win by two strokes.
 
Hou overcame a five-stroke deficit going into the third round to finish nine-under 207 at the RMB 500,000 China LPGA Tour event played at Shuangshan Golf Club in China. It's the second win against a pro field for Hou, who birdied five straight holes from 13 to 17 to ensure the victory.
 
Additionally, Gile Bite Starkute, another incoming freshman from Vilnius, Lithuania, won the Polish Ladies Golf Championship last week. She shot seven-under for the tournament, shooting rounds of 67, 70 and 72. She finished her round with a birdie and an eagle on the final two holes to close out the tournament and secure the win.
 
On top of the performances from the incoming players, the Wildcats saw one of their most recent golfers also excel in a pro event. Haley Moore, who just wrapped up her Arizona career last month, finished second at the Vegas Legacy event on the Cactus Tour. Moore shot five-under for the tournament, finishing one stroke behind the winner.
 
Moore and Minhae Gwon were the only two players to finish under par for the tournament. Moore shot 70-70-71 for the three days. She did the majority of her damage on the par fives where she played those at six-under.
