6. Annie Park, USC (2013-2015)
Park also earns a sub-award here for best newcomer of the decade. As a first-semester freshman in the spring of 2013, Park swept the postseason (Pac 12s, NCAA regionals and the NCAA Women’s Championship). The Trojans rode her to a team title that year in a runaway. Park’s ballstriking was jaw-dropping. She overpowered the University of Georgia Course in Athens, Georgia, at NCAAs, going 10 under to win by six.
The 5-foot, 9-inch Park was the definition of a short in the arm for USC, but she could never quite repeat the magic of that freshman season. She stayed two more full seasons, winning two more times for a career total of six individual titles before departing for the LPGA.
