TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Emma Talley was named a first team All-American by the Women's Golf Coaches Association on Wednesday after capturing the 2015 NCAA Individual National Championship Monday evening.
Talley, a junior from Princeton, Ky., shot 3-under 285 at The Concession Club in Bradenton, Fla., to edge National Player of the Year Leona Maguire (Duke) and Gabby Lopez (Arkansas) by one stroke. She is now a three time All-American after garnering second-team honors as a freshman and honorable mention accolades as a sophomore.
Talley finished her junior season with a 72.50 stroke average with seven top-10 finishes and three top-five showings. She averaged just .69 strokes per round over par and counted towards the team score in 31 of 32 rounds.
Alabama has won 24 Women's Golf Coaches Association All-America honors by 10 different players in Potter's 10-year tenure with the Crimson Tide. That list includes eight first-team selections by five different players, three second-team picks and 12 honorable mentions.
