Former Mizzou Women's Golf star takes home second career championship
ERIE, Pa. – Former Mizzou Women's Golf great, Julia Potter (Granger, Ind.), took top honors on Thursday at the 2016 U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur. Potter defeated Shannon Johnson, 2 and 1, in a close-contested finals match at The Kahkwa Club.
Thursday's championships marked Potter's second career triumph at the U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur. She now stands as only the fifth player to ever win the event multiple times. Potter joins Sarah LeBrun Ingram, Carol Semple Thompson, Ellen Port and Meghan Stasi in the exclusive U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur group.
Potter was a standout golfer at Mizzou from 2006-10. During her Tiger tenure, she claimed four individual tournament victories, ranking as the second-most ever in program history. Potter is also the last Tiger to compete individually at NCAA Regionals (2009, 2010).
The Granger, Ind., native played a key role into Mizzou's team bids to the 2007 and 2008 NCAA Regionals. Potter and her fellow Tiger teammates tallied three team tournament victories during her time in Columbia, Mo.
