Kimberly Kim has made up her mind. The 2006 US Women’s Amateur champion called Denver (University) coach Sammie Chergo on March 5 and gave a verbal commitment.

“I really liked the team a lot,” said Kim, pictured above. “I liked all the courses we saw on the visit, too.”

Kim, 17, previously had committed to Oklahoma State, but changed her mind when head coach Laura Matthews left the programme.

Kim was set to join Jane Rah and Sue Kim in Stillwater, Oklahoma, this fall. Now both Sue and Kimberly will join the Pioneers.

Kim’s college decision was a hot topic on the Golfweek discussion boards, with more than 15,000 page views and 150 postings. With so many rumours flying around, Kim even got on the boards herself to try and set the record straight.

“I felt like I got insulted a lot over not being able to decide (on college),” Kim said. “Isn’t it a tough decision? I’m glad it’s over and I can look forward to (high school) graduation.”
