Cal Coaches On KK Limbhasut
“KK’s golf intelligence combined with his competitive spirit and physical abilities make him the experienced and successful player he is. He was an All-American in junior golf and a second-team All-American as a sophomore in college. To be an All-American, one has to be very polished in every facet of the game, and KK is that polished.”
