Transferring from a D3 college, to a D1 university playing in the ACC (which is arguably the best conference in the country) was a difficult decision and transition to make, but it was best one for my long term goals.

I’ve been lucky enough to coach many professional and elite amateur golfers over my career. Out of them all, Rylee is at the top of my list when it comes to being driven and dedicated to her craft. She has worked countless hours in order to ascend from an average high school player to the #1 ranked player in the country (D3 – Centre College) before transferring to the University of Louisville. During her time at U of L, she qualified and competed in every tournament shooting a low round of 66 and finished as high as T9 against the some of the best players in the country. As she transitions to professional golf, it is my opinion, that she will succeed at the highest level given enough time and support.

About Me
Pursuing My Dreams
Like you, I have goals I want to achieve and dreams I want to see realized. However, without meaningful support, it will be virtually impossible to pursue them. Fortunately, many of the people I’ve contacted have shown great interest in assisting me with these goals. Since my days as a junior golfer, it has been my dream to become a professional golfer. My love of the game started on my local public Par 3 course, and it has grown exponentially as I competed throughout high school and college. Transferring from a D3 college, where I was ranked the #1 female player in the country (and was named Ping WGCA D3 Player of the Year), to a D1 university playing in the ACC (which is arguably the best conference in the country) was a difficult decision and transition to make, but it was the best one for my long term goals. After playing professionally on the Women's All Pro Tour and experiencing a successful first year, I am excited to continue pursuing my goals on the EPSON Tour. Building on the momentum of a strong rookie season, I am confident in my ability to excel at the next level.
Objective
Continue advancing my career in professional golf following a successful first year competing at the professional level. My dedication, perseverance, and analytical approach—combined with the skills developed from rising from Division III to Division I collegiate golf—have fueled my growth as a player. By leveraging technology, performance analytics, and a relentless work ethic, I aim to further refine my game and achieve sustained success at the professional level.
