the women`s golf team has a great class coming in and this young lady may become the best player to come through the program. Look for them to get back in the rankings early in the fall.

Amy had rounds of 78-74 at Shady Oaks Country Club and just missed the Women`s U.S Open by two shots. Not too bad, beat a lot of pros.
