CGN Player Highlight and Interview: Camille Min Gaultier’s Fast Start at TCU
TCU sophomore Camille Min Gaultier has translated a rigorous French federation pathway into immediate college results. She began golf at age eight after her family moved from Paris to the south of France, where they lived on a course. A federation performance school shaped her training, and early exposure at the British under-18 event and on social media led her to target TCU, where a French teammate named Lou helped confirm the fit.

Interview Highlights with CGN
Path into golf
Started at age eight after moving to the south of France and living on a course. A first coach encouraged the golf school, which set a steady training routine.
Federation training
Attended the French federation performance school in the south, building structure around practice and competition.
Choosing TCU
Interest grew at the British under-18 event while speaking with college coaches. A French teammate named Lou posted frequent TCU updates, and Min Gaultier targeted the program and joined.
Transition to college
Early challenges included language barriers in class, communication with coaches, cultural differences, and distance from her technical coach at home. She adjusted while posting a strong freshman season.
National teams and summer schedule
Played the British event, the French Championship, the Vagliano Trophy, the European Team Championship, and the European Individual. Spent a month on the road, then took a short break in Seron before returning to campus.
Mindset and focus
Resets after mistakes by taking one shot at a time and preparing for the next swing. Current emphasis is on wedging and iron play.
Equipment
Plays Ping clubs and a Ping putter.
Conference view and goals
Identifies Oklahoma State, UCF, and Houston as strong conference opponents. Team goals are to win events through the fall and be ready for spring. Personally she seeks an invitation to a major national event.
