Copper Rock Golf Club Press Release – Feb. 27, 2025
Dr. Sue Nyhus has played through a golfing path unique to her. She is the only player, female or male, to have qualified for and played in every USGA championship available to her.
Beginning with the U.S. Junior Amater as a teen in Florida, Sue played in the U.S. Women’s Amateur, The U.S. Women’s Open and all the team and state events. She was a finalist in the U.S. Amateur Public Links, and played in the Senior Women’s Amateur and the Senior Women’s Open. From high school phenom to being the cool grandma, Sue is the only one to have played in them all.
Along the way she played for Brigham Young University, won the Utah Women’s State Amateur twice, the Utah Senior Women’s State Am three times and played on the Ladies European Tour. She earned a Ph. D. in Sports Psychology, coached at BYU and Utah Valley University, stared down and beat back cancer, and raised three daughters who are good players, great moms and still trying to beat her. And she’s the favorite player of all six of her grandkids.
Sue put a bow on her incredible career when she was inducted into the Utah Golf Hall of Fame in 2021. She became a Class A member of the Utah Section PGA and is teaching at Willow Creek CC, Thanksgiving Point GC, and Hobble Creek GC. She’s still not done!
