Fátima Fernández Cano

Fátima Fernández Cano grew up in Santiago, Spain near the

country’s northwestern coast. Although golf resources were limited

in the small town, Fati fell in love with the game when she was only

four years old and earned her first win six years later at the 2005

Galicia Championships.

Fati came to the United States to play collegiate golf at Troy

University and was shortly thereafter named the Sun Belt

Conference Freshman of the Year. She later finished her junior year

as the fifth-ranked player in the NCAA and was named the 2016 Sun

Belt Conference Golfer of the Year. With countless opportunities,

fierce support and a decorated college resume, Fati began to see

herself with a future in professional golf for the first time.

Shortly after turning professional and joining the Epson Tour in

2018, Fati suffered the tragic loss of a childhood friend and

teammate, Celia Barquín Arozamena. After Celia was killed, Fati set

out to keep her memory and passion alive by living out their shared

dream. Today, she carries a pin and headcover with the initials

‘CBA,’ and a bracelet which reads “todo cuenta, todo vale” –

everything counts. She hopes to honor both her friend and their

country by inspiring children in northern Spain to learn the game

that first brought them together. As she begins her career on the

LPGA Tour, Fati carries with her a purpose and a passion that is sure

to help her do just that. We are beyond excited to welcome her to the CALLIOPE CREW!
