College golf: 2019-20 Preseason Women’s All-Americans

It’s never too early to start thinking about postseason honors, especially with the 2019-20 college golf season upon us.

Leading Golfweek’s preseason Women’s First Team All-American list is Frida Kinhult, who led the nation and set a Florida State program record for single-season scoring at 70.66. That’s exceptional consistency and the expectations are even higher for her upcoming sophomore campaign.
