Maddy Hinson-Tolchard committed to Oklahoma State in November 2019, just a month after finishing high school in Perth, Australia. However, she did not physically join the university until January 2021. During the intervening six months, Hinson-Tolchard remained at home, taking online courses offered by OSU and acclimating to the American academic system.

Despite the lockdown imposed in Australia during this time, she managed to maintain her golf skills by playing with her family. As a junior now, Hinson-Tolchard feels that college life is just as she anticipated when she first decided to come to the United States. She credits the challenges she faced during her freshman year with helping her to grow both as a golfer and as an individual.

Recently, she won both the team and individual titles at the Big 12 Championship and is now determined to use this momentum to secure a national title.
