Moroccan golf prodigy Sofia Cherif Essakali visited the International Junior Golf Academy to prepare for the AJGA Ping Invitational.
At just 13, Sofia made history at the Lalla Meryem Cup, a Ladies European Tour (LET) event. Opening with a solid 74 (+1) on day one, she led Morocco. Despite a nervy second round, Sofia’s determination prevailed, making her the youngest player to make the cut in a LET tournament.
While at IJGA, Sofia got exclusive training with our Senior Golf Coach, Julieta Granada. Julieta had a successful career on the LPGA, was an Olympian at the Rio games, and won the World Cup for Paraguay in 2007.
