Tommy Baker complete his first season with the Colorado State women’s golf staff in 2018. The assistant coach was hired by Head Coach Annie Young on July 13, 2017.
In his first year with the Rams, he helped guide junior Katrina Prendergast set Colorado State’s season scoring average with a 73.74 mark. Colorado State also finished the Mountain West Championship in third place – its highest finish in nearly a decade. The Rams had two players earn NCAA Regional bids in 2017-18 as Katrina Prendergast made her third postseason appearance in as many years and Ellen Secor made her debut as a sophomore.
Prior to joining the staff, Baker spent four seasons at Saint Leo and turned the Lions into a top-10 Division II program over the past two seasons. The Lions qualified for the NCAA South Super Regional in each of Baker’s four seasons at the helm. His 2015-16 squad earned the program’s first team qualifier into the national championship and finished in a tie for fourth place, while Saint Leo had individual qualifiers in 2014 and 2017.
Baker coached senior Marie Coors, Division II’s top-ranked player throughout much of 2016-17, to the individual title at the 2017 NCAA Division II Women’s Golf Championship in Findlay, Ohio – Saint Leo’s first NCAA national championship, team or individual, in women’s athletics.
Coors capped the season by earning 2017 Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) Division II Player of the Year honors, as well as being named the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Division II Academic All-America of the Year in the At-Large category, and the Division II Honda Athlete of the Year nominee in women’s golf.
Coors was one of three WGCA All-Americans that were coached by Baker over his four seasons at Saint Leo, two of whom he recruited. During Baker’s time as head coach, the Lions’ four-player team stroke average dropped from 309.59 in his first season down to 297.64 in 2016-17, and Saint Leo’s 74.46 adjusted scoring average in 2016-17 was fourth-lowest in all of Division II according to GolfStat.
Baker started his coaching career as an assistant coach at his alma mater UNC- Pembroke in 2006 before getting his first head coaching position at Coker College in 2008 as the head men’s and women’s golf coach.
Baker earned his bachelor degree in exercise and sport science from UNC – Pembroke in 2006 and his masters in physical education with a concentration in sports administration in 2008.
