Fatima Fernandez Cano
Fátima Fernández Cano grew up in Santiago, Spain near the country’s northwestern coast. Although golf resources were limited in the small town, Fati fell in love with the game when she was only four years old and earned her first win six years later at the 2005 Galicia Championships.
Fati came to the United States to play collegiate golf at Troy University and was shortly thereafter named the Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year. She later finished her junior year as the fifth-ranked player in the NCAA and was named the 2016 Sun Belt Conference Golfer of the Year. With countless opportunities, fierce support and a decorated college resume, Fati began to see herself with a future in professional golf for the first time.
