STILLWATER, Oklahoma — Annie Young is returning to her seat atop the Oklahoma State women's golf program.
OSU announced her promotion Tuesday from assistant to replace dismissed head coach Greg Robertson.
Young was an All-American player for the Cowgirls, concluding her career in 2005. She ascended to head coach by 2008 and held the job through 2011.
From that point, she went on to be a head coach at Cal State Northridge, Colorado State and Tulsa before returning to OSU as an assistant last summer.

'There was high-level interest in this job, which confirmed to me the position our program has nationally in women's college golf,' OSU athletic director Chad Weiberg said. 'After many discussions with golf coaches around the country, former Cowgirl golfers, current players on the team and through conducting the interview process, it became clear that the best candidate for the job was already in Stillwater.
'Our goal for Cowgirl Golf is to compete for championships, much like the Cowboy Golf program, and I'm convinced that Annie Young is the right leader to take the program to that level."
Young noted the recent excitement around the program, including former Cowgirl Maja Star's U.S. Open victory over the weekend.
'With the recent renovation to Karsten, the men's national championship, and Maja Stark's big win at the U.S. Open, it's an exciting time for Oklahoma State golf,' she said. 'I'm grateful to Chad Weiberg for giving me another opportunity to lead this program. I've grown as a head coach over the last 14 years and am eager to apply what I've learned. I look forward to reconnecting with Cowgirl alumni, engaging with the OSU community, and building a championship culture that we can all be proud of.'
