Whanganui golfer Tara Raj has had a change of heart when it comes to her immediate playing future.
The 17-year-old signed a letter of intent with American university Sacramento State in November, after considering options from various colleges across the United States.
She was set to head over in mid-August,
but a month ago decided college isn't the route for her, and will instead continue developing her golf game in New Zealand.
There was no single reason that changed Raj's mind, saying she was never sold on the idea of going to university in the first place.
"I just decided it wasn't really the way I wanted to go about my golf at this stage.
