Nice story.

Great story, and the sub-text should be, "Hannah O'Sullivan is not from Ireland; she will be the only American on the Duke roster." [Actually, that's based on this year's roster.] Current roster sports players from Ireland (the Maguire sisters), India, Italy, China, South Korea and Slovenia.

Nice story.

Thanks for the link! Very nice story and good luck to her in her college career at Duke. I hope she enjoys however long she stays in college. I'm sure it's a tough decision for someone like her at her age, given the amount of money available in turning pro and other considerations. I'm sure the women's USC golf coach is not happy but it's certainly good for Duke women's golf!

That is going to be REALLY good college team next year, including the #1 and #2 Women's Amateur players...

Congratulations Hannah! You'll be very happy with your choice! Enjoy your time at Duke. :D

our women's golf coach, is the best. Brooks Field at Wally Wade good/great. I've known Dan since day 1, just a great human and friend. We've played a few rounds together and have chatted over the years. Any young lady playing golf at Duke is fortunate to have Dan as coach. Morgan Pressel was a commit before deciding to go pro out of HS. Great program!! We're lucky for that. GO DUKE!!
Great to see this new addition!!

Where are you @burnspbesq ? I forgot where we set the betting line for the next season in which we would have an American-born Women's Golfer.

Awesome story. Sounds like a grounded young woman.

I love following the Duke women's golf team. I look forward to a new season.
