Brittany O’Bryant is one of two seniors on the Chico State Women’s golf team, and she has been tearing up the course her entire Wildcat career. She has led her team in scoring average the last two years, and plans to go out with a bang for her final season in the spring. O’Bryant has been playing golf for 18 years, which is apparent in her golf game. With 3 top 20 finishes already this fall season, Brittany is nothing short of a golf expert.

The interview she gave me was packed with information with what she has learned over her college golf career, and some wisdom for other student athletes.

“I have loved golf ever since I started playing when I was 3,” O’Bryant explains. “I wanted to get a golf scholarship so I could continue my education and take my game to the next level.” She went on to say that her favorite part about college golf was her teammates, and that they were some of the best friends she will ever have. “We’re like a big family, a Wildcat family. They’ll always have my back,” she said smiling. She reminisced on the many places she got to travel to for golf tournaments, her favorite being the Sand Hollow Resort in Hurricane, Utah.

When asked what the biggest thing she has learned from college athletics she proudly said “I learned how to be more confident in myself, and that really started to show in my game. The more confident I was, the better I played. Now I know that can apply to life too.”

Her biggest tip for the mental side of things was: “You have 5 seconds to be mad after shot. After that, you need to let it go, then think about what you can improve for the next shot.”

Brittany’s love for her school and the game of golf shows through in everything she does, and she says she is so excited to have this last semester be her best yet. To read some articles about the Chico State Wildcats and Brittany’s tournament results, click here.
