2017-18 Season Highlights
• One of two golfers – along with Gabriela Coello – to qualify for Georgia’s playing five for every team tourney.
• Played in 14 events in her first three seasons at UGA combined before coming close to matching that tally in her senior year.
• Enjoyed a strong home stretch to her collegiate career, posting a 74.90 average over 21 rounds during the spring season. That after entering the 2018 calendar with a 77.54 average for 46 loops during her first three and a half seasons in Athens.
• Contributed 19.2 counting scores over 21 spring rounds, a contributing percentage of 91.4.
• Opened the spring with a career-best tie for fifth at the Gold Rush to help Georgia capture the team title in Long Beach.
• Certainly enjoyed her final tournament on the UGA Golf Course, shooting a career-low 4-over 220 during the 46th annual Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic.
• Wrapped up her collegiate career with a 35-foot birdie putt on the final hole of the NCAA Regional and Tallahassee. Said head coach Josh Brewer: "You just have to think there are bigger things than golf happening when you see a senior roll in a 35-foot putt on the last hole of their collegiate career. It was pretty cool. For all she's been through, playing one event as a junior and playing every tournament as senior, it was neat. I'm glad she went ahead and made it because I don't know if she could've made a tap-in. She was balling, and I was too."
