Daily News | Drexel golfer’s journey: From Zimbabwe to the PGA Works Championship
Life for Drexel junior golfer Tafadzwa Nyamukondiwa has always been about “chasing the dream.” But it hasn’t been easy for the native of Zimbabwe. He credits his faith and his family for leading him through every obstacle in his journey to the United States.
His father, Tawanda Nyamukondiwa, sacrificed some of his own personal goals to put his children in a better position. Due to finances, instead of going back to school himself he chose to support his son in his journey. All of that hard work has paid off. Nyamukondiwa was Colonial Athletic Association golfer of the week on April 16 and followed that up with a third-place finish at the CAA championships on April 26. And on Monday he along with Drexel teammates Jeffrey Cunningham and Bank Apinyawuttikul will play in the PGA Works Collegiate Championships on two courses, Union League Liberty Hill and The Union League Golf Club at Torresdale.
