Wayne State women’s golf coach Joey Baldwin announced that Saffire Sayre from West Des Moines, Iowa has signed a national letter of intent to attend Wayne State College and play women’s golf for the Wildcats in the 2022-23 academic year.
“I am very excited to welcome Saffire to our team,” commented Baldwin. “She has had so much success as a junior golfer in Iowa and I can’t wait to watch her continue her success as a Wildcat. I believe Saffire has the talent and work ethic to come in and have a big impact on our program right away. She is very smart and will be a great addition to Wayne State in the classroom as well.”
Sayre is from Valley High School in Iowa where she is a four-year starter in golf. Last spring as a junior, she averaged 75.5 for 18 holes and helped her team win the Iowa Class 4A State title and earned first-team Class 4A All-State honors. During the summer, Sayre was named Iowa Junior PGA Player of the Year after winning four events.
Sayre has earned First Team All-State and All-CIML First Team honors every year in high school. As a freshman, she posted an 18-hole scoring average of 79.63 and in the classroom is an honor roll student.
