2017-18 Season Highlights
• Named first-team All-America by both the WGCA and Golfweek.
• Individually, finished the season ranked No. 8 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index and No. 10 by Golfstat.
• Tabbed first-team All-SEC and named SEC Golfer of the Week on March 28.
• Became just the fourth three-time All-American in program history, joining four-time honorees Shauna Estes and Marta Silva Zamora and three-time pick Whitney Wade.
• Broke the school season average record by covering 26 rounds at a 71.04 pace, .48 per round better than the previous mark set by Marta Silva Zamora en route to winning 2011 National Golfer of the Year honors.
• Wrapped up her career with three of the top-5 season stroke averages in school history – No. 1 71.04 in 2017-18, No. 4 72.12 in 2016-17 and No. 5 72.45 in 2015-16.
• Played an abbreviated schedule in the fall while participating in all three stages of LPGA Q-School. Was one of eight amateurs to reach the final stage, where she tied for 72nd.
• Covered 26 rounds at a combined 22-under, including team-best tallies of 18 par-or-better loops, six scored in the 60s, 94 birdies, 100 percent counting rounds and seven top-10 individual finishes.

• Tied the Georgia single-round score with a 7-under 65 to close the PING/ASU Invitational on her 21st birthday. Interestingly, she posted that effort on the same ASU Karsten Course layout that Vicki Goetze originally set that record during the final round of the 1992 NCAA Championships.
• Qualified for the NCAAs as an individual by shooting 7-under 209 at the East Regional in Tallahassee, Fla., to tie for ninth individually.

• Came within a stroke of UGA’s single round and tournament records at the Mountain View Collegiate.
