"Her wedge play, Manon had a little bit of a down period, but she really practiced, and her wedge play was her strong point in the fall, and is coming back sharp," K-State head coach Kristi Knight says. She is tied with Remington Isaac with 91.67% of her rounds counting toward the team score.
She had her best round when she shot a 67 on the final round of the Clover Cup on March 13. Today, the wedge is the bread-and-butter of Donche-Gay's golf game, and a skill that figures to be her best asset when the junior college transfer joins her Kansas State teammates at the 2022 Big 12 Championship, which runs Friday through Sunday at the par-71, 6,249-yard Houston Oaks Golf Club in Hockley, Texas.ĭonche-Gay leads the team with a 74.43 stroke average in eight appearances this season. Born in Avignon, France, Donche-Gay lived in Bradenton, Florida, the first time her mother dropped a bunch of golf balls around the green and cut Manon loose to see how many she could loop up-and-down and into the hole. "I practice it over and over again," Donche-Gay says. The tick-tock, tick-tock, lulls her into a zone, almost a trance, and she hits her wedge up-and-down and up-and-down - a graduated skill developed through hours upon hours of practice on the fringe and the cushy greens at Colbert Hills Golf Course.
The metronome enhances the backbone of playing good golf. The metronome allows her to swing in rhythm. Manon Donche-Gay has a simple process when embarking upon her craft.
