Harriet has gone on to be one of the top juniors, not only in Great Britain and Ireland, but in the whole of Europe.

She was just announced as the AJGA Player of the Year and has won some major events this summer including the Rolex Junior as well as the PGA Junior. Her ability to close in major tournaments will be an invaluable asset to our team. It was clear from the beginning of the recruiting process that Kaitlyn was a perfect fit for our program. She loves all sports, especially football, and loved the commitment that Alabama has made to excelling and competing for championships in all our programs. The addition of Kaitlyn to our golf program will be a game-changer for us but having her as a member of the Crimson Tide community will make us all better.
