Amelia Moses followed her sister Letitia from Coronationville, South Africa, to Missouri and made school history on the women's golf team. As a junior in 2000, she shot a final-round 77 at the Lubbock (Texas) Country Club and hung on to win the Big 12 Conference championship by one stroke over Oklahoma's Jennifer James. She's the only Mizzou golfer, male or female, to win an individual conference title and was the program's first all-American. She also became the first African-American female golfer to win a conference championship in the combined history of the Big Eight, Big 12 and Southwest Conferences. Both golfers shot 73 in the first round, and James also carded a 77 on day three, but Moses' round of even-par 72 in round two to James' 73 proved to be the difference. The next year she very nearly repeated at The Harvester in Harvester, Iowa, when she tied for first place with Oklahoma State's Maria Boden but lost in a one-hole playoff. Moses won six medalist honors in six tournaments during her career and led the Tigers to the NCAA Tournament in each of her four seasons. She graduated holding the MU single-season (74.97) and career (76.69) stroke-average records.
