“We are excited to have Clarisa join our Razorback family,” said Taylor. “We have a rich tradition in recruiting some of the best players from Mexico and Clarisa is no exception. Clarisa is technically very sound and takes golf lessons from the same instructor as Pro Hog Gaby Lopez. She is an excellent ball striker and will come in immediately and compete for a spot in the starting line-up. Mike [Adams] and I have had the opportunity to watch Clarisa compete quite a bit and we are excited to get her to campus to start her Razorback journey.”
Temelo is the daughter of Horacio Temelo and Sofia Escalera and is coming to Fayetteville from Queretaro, Mexico. She plans to major in finance. Former Hogs Maria Fassi and Gaby Lopez have been inspirational on her golf journey.
“I chose Arkansas because of the family the team has become and the support I can see from the coaches,” said Temelo. “The moment I visited the campus, I fell in love with the school. The training facilities are amazing, the golf program is wonderful and the general Razorback Nation is great.”
