CHENEY, Washington(12-11-2012) --
As a freshman in 2011, the West Hills High School product won the state team championship for coach Mark Eldridge's Comets by one stroke over Glendale College when she dropped in a 20-foot birdie putt on the final hole. "Taylor will be a game-changer," Eastern Washington coach Brena Howe said. "She has already clebrated post-hghigh school success, which I think is a huge factor when it comes to the collegiate level. "A lot of players coming out of high school are used to being the big fish in a small pond. But when they get to college, they're all of the sudden a small fish in an extremely big pond. Some respond well, but others have a hard time adjusting to the change. "Taylor has already had post-high school success. She is used to winning, both individually and as a team. She doesn't expect anything less. I hope the standards she has established for herself and her team will carry over to the rest of our squad. Eastern Washington is a member of the Big Sky Conference.

Off-Season 2011 Schedule/Results | 2011 Roster.htm Hardin's 'Big Break' coming on Golf Channel
The 19-year-old, who transferred from Cal State San Marcos prior to the 2011 season and finished seventh in the communiry college state tournament, has turned pro, forfeiting her remaining collegiate eligibility, to become the youngest female golfer ever selected to play in The Golf Channel's "Big Break" series, which begins its 17th season next Monday, May 14. "Big Break Atlantiss" was shot at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas, with Hardin attempting to earn an exemption into an LPGA event later this year -- among a plethora of other perks and prizes. " 'The Big Break' is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity Hardin told golf writer Marc Figueroa of the North County Times. "There are thousands of applicants who apply every year, and for me to getchosen. I just knew I had to take (my shot)." Both literally and figuratively. No one is saying how Hardin does in the taped event, althugh the word on the street is that she played well. For her part, Hardin isn't saying. She'sprevented, in fact, from uttering a word, and so is everyone else from The Golf Channel and the show. She did tell Figueroa that it was a "gruelling" experence. Hardin received a golf scholarship to Cal State San Marcos out of Rim of the World High School in Lake Arrowhead, where she played on the boys team in the rugged CIF Southern Section and was team captain..She won a tournament playing for the Cougars as a true freshman, but left the program when the coach who recruited her left the school. She transferred to Palomar to play for coach Mark Eldridge and, after last Fall's state team championship, things started to happen fast and furious for the former Comet. Figueroa quoted Eldridge as saying he was surprised, "initially" when Hardin was selected to play on the Big Break series from amog so many hopefuls. "The odds of making it are huge," Eldrige said in Figueroa's golf column. When he thought about it, however, Eldridge wasn't surprised at all. "She sees that carrot in front of her and she doesn't quit until she gets what she wants," Eldridge added. "Her drive is not that common."
