Born and raised in the third ward in Houston, Texas, Aziza Glass attended the high school of Performing Arts, but played golf at Yates high school, the 2009-2010 4A State champions.
Glass is a graduating senior agriculture major with a focus in animal science, and plans on becoming a veterinarian.
In high school Glass was named to the all-distinct team four years in a row. As a dual threat Glass was a vocalist a HSPVA. So far matching what she achieved in high school, Glass has been named to the All-SWAC team three times and to the All-Academic team 2007-2008.
Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam are the two golfers who Glass related her game to, mentally and their style of play. Glass said, “97 percent of the game of golf is mental.” Glass talks about the nature of Tiger Woods and the way he plays, “He brings athleticism and excitement to the game of golf which is hard to achieve.”
Glass is the youngest of four sisters who all played organized sports. Her father was dedicated and pushed his girls to the path of success. Glass is a perfect example of that. In last year’s SWAC Tournament Glass finished in the top 10 while recovering from flu, showing hard work and perseverance.
In her free time Glass prefers to just sit down and read a book while sipping on a little coffee. At other times, to have fun, Glass just loves to do things on the spur’ of the moment, randomly going bowling or playing pool.
After graduation Glass plans to attend Cornell graduate school to pursue a dual doctorate in veterinarian medicine and animal behavior.
Through it all people in her life including her father, pervious coaches and a variety of golf organizations make what is called, “Team Aziza.”
