Emma de Groot rode home from Hilton Head Island, S.C., with a Southern Conference women’s golf championship trophy in the van for a second straight year.
In fact, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga senior had more than one trophy to enjoy Tuesday.
She helped win the team championship as the Mocs shot a three-day total of 36-over-par 900, which smoked runner-up College of Charleston by 30 strokes.
She also had the medalist trophy again after firing a 3-over 219 at Moss Creek Golf Club. And she claimed the SoCon player of the year award.
“I putted really well all week. I holed a lot of good putts to keep my rounds going or pick myself up,” de Groot said by cell phone. “We need to celebrate this team trophy for a day or two, then fix what we need to fix because competition is going to be stronger in a couple of weeks.”
