Katie Futcher
USA
As an amateur Futcher was a two-time NCAA All-American (2002-03) while at Pennsylvania State University. A three-time NCAA Academic All-American from 2001-03, Futcher was also a two-time Big Ten All-Conference selection and a member of the victorious U.S. team at the 2004 World University Golf Championship in Thailand.
These early accolades led her to turn pro in 2004 and after a year on the LPGA Futures Tour, Katie finished tied-fourth at the 2005 LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament and so earned exemption status for the 2006 LPGA season.
