LIZ MURPHEY COLLEGIATE CLASSIC The list of golfers who have competed collegiately in the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic reads like a “Who’s Who” of women’s golf, including LPGA Hall of Famers Beth Daniel, Betsy King and Julie Inkster. The LMCC, one of the oldest continuous sporting events in all of women’s college athletics, will be contested for the 50th time on March 25-27, 2022. The event began in 1973 as the Georgia Invitational before becoming the Women’s Southern Intercollegiates from 197794. In 1995, it was renamed in honor of Liz Murphey, UGA’s Hall of Fame golf coach and long-time Senior Woman Administrator. Georgia has enjoyed success protecting its home turf. The Bulldogs have won 14 team titles and produced 12 medalists. In 2014, the Liz Murphey altered its format to feature stroke play and match play in advance of a similar change for the 2015 NCAA Championships.

LIZ MURPHEY TRIBUTE
A TRUE PIONEER IN WOMEN’S ATHLETICS
Liz Murphey was one of the leading figures in the evolution and development of women’s intercollegiate athletics both on the national level and at the University of Georgia. A Newnan, Ga., native, Murphey was not only an outstanding women’s golf coach but also led the overall Lady Bulldog women’s sports program to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s as its senior woman administrator. She died November 23, 2005, following a short illness. “Liz was certainly one of the national pioneers in women’s athletics and one that provided the real foundation for the program here at Georgia,” said former UGA Director of Athletics Vince Dooley. “Her work at Georgia was recognized across the country both as an administrator and golf coach.” Murphey joined the university faculty in 1967 as an assistant professor of physical education and women’s golf coach. She coordinated the women’s club sports program until being named assistant athletic director for women’s sports in 1978. When UGA officially added women’s golf as an intercollegiate sport in the fall of 1978, Murphey already had a solid foundation in place. She led the Lady Bulldogs to 21 team and 18 individual titles from 1978-86. Under Murphey, Georgia finished in the top 10 at each national
championship from 1979-83, including second at the 1981 AIAWs and third at the 1983 NCAAs. Additionally, Terri Moody and Cindy Schreyer won individual national titles in 1981 and 1984, respectively. Murphey was the first-ever NGCA National Coach of the Year in 1984, and she was a charter member of that organization’s Hall of Fame. Two of her most prestigious honors were the 1996 Rolex Meritorious Service Award and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Association of Collegiate Women’s Athletic Adminstators in 2003. Under her leadership, Georgia won eight of the 14 SEC women’s all-sports awards, secured four national team championships and captured an additional 31 individual national titles. Murphey retired from the University in May 1996. She was inducted into the UGA Athletic Association’s Circle of Honor – the school’s highest tribute paid to former athletes or coaches – in 2001. Murphey’s legacy lives on. For more than four decades, Georgia has hosted the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic, appropriately one of the nation’s oldest women’s collegiate athletic events in any sport.
LIZ’S LEGACY Liz Murphey’s fingerprints remain on UGA women’s athletics long after she retired. Murphey hired current Georgia women’s head coaches Jack Bauerle (swimming and diving) and Jeff Wallace (tennis), as well as previous standouts Andy Landers (basketball) and Suzanne Yoculan (gymnastics). That quartet has combined to lead 19 teams to NCAA Championships and 45 squads to SEC Championships in their respective sports. She also brought in Beans Kelly as her assistant coach in 1986 and handed the reins to the golf program over shortly thereafter. Kelly led Georgia to eight SEC titles and eight top-10 finishes at the NCAAs.
PUTTING UGA ON THE MAP
Hosting the 1981 AIAW Nationals was perhaps Liz Murphey’s finest hour as a coach and administrator. Terri Moody (upper right) captured the first-ever national title in UGA women’s athletics history and the Lady Bulldogs finished second in the team field (right). 2021-22 georgia golf • 5
FALL RECAP BULLDOGS PLAY SOME OF UGA’S BEST GOLF EVER IN FALL With the same roster in place that swept the team and individual titles at the NCAA Columbus Regional last spring, much was expected of the Georgia women’s golf team when the Bulldogs opened their fall season. Those Bulldogs didn’t disappoint in 2021 and appear lined up for another outstanding season in 2022 that will hopefully culminate with an even deeper run in the NCAA Championships. The toughest challenge for head coach Josh Brewer and first-year assistant coach Caroline Westrup may be a task to accomplish before they ever leave the UGA campus – deciding on the Bulldogs’ lineup. Georgia’s roster is overflowing with stellar competitive resumes, with golfers listing appearances in the sports greatest events such as the U.S. Open, U.S. Amateur, World Team Amateur, Junior Olympics and the Augusta National Women’s Amateur over and over again. The Bulldogs’ 10-deep roster features graduate Alison Crenshaw; seniors Jenny Bae, Jo Hua Hung and Zoë Walker; juniors Céleste Dao, Caterina Don Caroline Craig and Candice Mahé; sophomore Isabella Holpfer; and freshman LoraLie Cowart. Brewer, who welcomes healthy competition, knew won’t have any issues establishing that during qualifying. That trait helped the Bulldogs enjoy historic success in the fall. In the second round of the season at the Cougar Classic, Georgia posted a schoolrecord 14-under 274 at Yeamans Hall. Bae, Craig and Holpfer all fired 2-under 68s and Don posted a 2-under 70 to round out the Bulldogs’ counting tallies. Amazingly, Georgia’s playing five actually shot 15-under on the day, with Hung’s 1-under effort serving as the drop score. “We know you’re not going to shoot 14-under every day,” Brewer said. “We knew we had the firepower to play like this and now we’ve done it. It’s a tell-tale sign of the depth we have. We threw out a 71. If you look at really good teams, they have to have five players to play like we did today. We feel like we have 10 players that could help us play like we did today. We’re working on a process and not worry about posting a score. The process we’re trying to complete went really well today.” That process again went really well later in the. The Bulldogs shot 15-under 849 – the secondbest tournament score in school history – en route to winning the team title at the Illini Invitational at historic Medinah Country Club in October. Georgia sandwiched a pair of 6-under 282’s around a 3-under 285 to capture the 15th team title during Brewer’s tenure in Athens. “I think we were the one team in the field that was up around first or second for the entire tournament,” Brewer added. “Both days, everyone was chasing us. Everyone was chasing us from the moment we teed off to the final putt. With the shotgun start, which was what had to happen under these circumstances, we didn’t get to look the people in the eye we were competing against. 6 • 2021-22 georgia golf

I think we would’ve enjoyed that, but at the same time, a win’s a win.” Days after the victory in Illinois, Georgia’s fall season unfortunately ended on a sour note. The Bulldogs finished 13th at the Stanford Intercollegiate, doing so with a play-four, count-four lineup for the final two rounds. That outing pushed Georgia, which spent the entire fall ranked among the nation’s top-20 teams, back to the high 20s in the final Golfstat and Golfweek fall rankings. “College golf rankings can get skewed when something happens like playing four instead of five or even having to withdraw from a tournament,” Brewer said. “We look at our first three events of the fall as a better indicator of our team.”
HUNG CRANKS OUT POBs
Senior Jo Hua Hung enjoyed an amazingly impressive and consistent fall campaign. In 12 rounds, Hung carded par-or-better scores nine times. In fact, the aforementioned depth actually hurt the Bulldogs at the Mason Rudolph Championship. Hung found herself on the outside looking in at Georgia’s lineup for Vanderbilt’s tourney and competed as an individual. Hung went on to be the Bulldogs’ top individual finisher by shooting 7-under 209 to place fifth. If she would have been in the lineup, Hung’s scores would have lowered Georgia’s team score by 13 strokes and vaulted the Bulldogs from sixth to third on the team leaderboard.
BAE SELECTED BY USGA
Jenny Bae was one of 12 golfers who took part in the USGA’s International Team Selection Working Group practice session on January 15-16 at Mountain Lake in Lake Wales, Fla. The players were vying for spots on the United States team for the 42nd Curtis Cup Match, which will take place June 10-12, at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa.
Bae was a combined 5-under over 10 rounds during Georgia’s fall campaign. The senior from Suwanee, Ga., earned All-America honors last season after finishing as Georgia’s top individual in six of 11 tournaments. She captured medalist honors at the NCAA Columbus Regional and was the Bulldogs’ top finisher at the NCAA Championships. Bae enjoyed a stellar summer headlined by a trio of victories in a one-week span. She posted an 11-under tally en route to a 5-stroke victory at the Georgia Women’s Amateur Championship on June 30. The next morning, Bae began another wire-to-wire win by shooting 6-under 136 on her way to winning the Georgia Women’s Open. Three days after that, she fired a 5-under 67 to capture medalist honors at a U.S. Women’s Amateur qualifier on July 5. At the U.S. Women’s Am, Bae tied for 12th over two days of stroke play qualifying and advanced to the Round of 16 of match play before falling to eventual champion Jensen Castle. The Curtis Cup Match is contested between two teams of eight female amateur players, one from the U.S. and one from Great Britain and Ireland and consists of six foursomes (alternate-shot) matches, six four-ball matches and eight singles matches over three days of competition. Traditionally, the Curtis Cup is held every two years; however, the 2020 edition was postponed until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All told, Georgia golfers have competed in eight previous Curtis Cups, seven times for the U.S. and once for GB&I. Terri Moody was UGA’s first participant in 1980 followed by Cindy Schreyer in 1986, Vicki Goetze in 1990 and 1992, Angela Jerman in 2992, Taylor Leon in 2006, Krystle Caithness (GB&I) in 2008 and Bailey Tardy in 2016. Bae received additional good news in early 2022 when she was included among the invitees to compete in the Augusta National Women’s Amateur later this spring.

INDIANA ’98
Josh Brewer has put Georgia women’s golf back into the national spotlight... and he’s eager for even greater success in the future. During his nine seasons in Athens, the Bulldogs have posted 30 tournament victories, with 15 individual and 15 team wins. Headlining that list is a pair of NCAA Regional sweeps. The Bulldogs captured the 2016 Bryan Regional when Georgia shot its best-ever score in postseason play (8-under) and Bailey Tardy earned medalist honors. The second dominating Regional performance came in 2021 when the Bulldogs and Jenny Bae topped the leaderboards in Columbus, Ohio. Georgia bested the rest of the field on OSU’s Scarlet Course by 15 strokes. School records have fallen at, well, a record pace on Brewer’s watch. That aforementioned postseason record lasted less than a year, until Georgia shot 9-under at the 2017 SEC Championships. Individually, eight of the top-10 season stroke averages in Georgia history are owned by Bulldogs who played under Brewer, including Jillian Hollis’ school record 71.04 in 2017-18. Hollis also equaled Georgia’s single-round mark by shooting a final-round 7-under 65 en route to winning the PING/ASU Invitational last spring. In addition, Bailey Tardy broke UGA’s 54-hole tournament record by shooting 12-under at the 2015 Windy City Collegiate. On the team front, Georgia has posted its top-three season stroke averages ever. The Bulldogs also have notched eight of their top-10 tourney tallies, headlined by a school-record 19-under at the 2016 Annika Intercollegiate, and seven top-10 single rounds in school history, a list that features a best-ever 13-under at the 2015 Mason Rudolph. All of the aforementioned is quite remarkable considering Brewer’s experiences with intercollegiate athletics appeared to have ended in a storybook fashion two decades ago. As a senior at Indiana, Brewer birdied the final two holes to finish second individually and help the Hoosiers secure a one-stroke victory at the 1998 Big Ten Championships. While Brewer did not know so at the time, the event was the final tournament in both his career and that of legendary coach Sam Carmichael. “That was the last year that a conference championship didn’t earn you an automatic bid to the NCAAs,” Brewer said. “We were ‘on the bubble’ and thought winning the Big Tens would get us in, but it didn’t. Obviously, I was disappointed at the time, but to look back at it now, it was a pretty neat way to wrap up my career as a college golfer.” After winning the 1998 Indiana Am crown that summer, Brewer quickly moved into the business world. He accepted a position as a financial advisor with Linsco/Private Ledger in Indianapolis. Three falls later, Mike Mayer, who moved from assistant to head coach at IU after Carmichael retired, asked Brewer to share his experiences in golf and school and the transition to professional life with the current team. “I just really enjoyed the interaction with the student-athletes,” Brewer said. “On the way home, my wife Selena said she hadn’t seen me that happy in a while. She suggested that college coaching might be something I should explore.” Chalk one up for the wife.
GOING BACK TO BLOOMINGTON
Brewer planted a seed with Mayer, who also was his childhood golf instructor, and when an opening arose soon thereafter, Brewer returned to IU. “I can honestly say Josh was the hardest worker I have ever seen,” Mayer said. “Josh brings a level of intensity to this program that has been vital to our success. He accepts nothing less than perfection.” Brewer helped the Hoosiers enjoy very solid success over the next six seasons. Indiana was represented in NCAA competition each of his those campaigns. After reaching in NCAA Regionals in 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Hoosiers returned to the NCAA Championships as a team in 2008, their first appearance since Brewer’s sophomore year in 1996. All told, Brewer helped coach two All-Americans, three Big Ten Players of the Year honorees, two Palmer Cup members, one Walker Cup member and four scholastic All-Americans.
ON TO SOUTHERN CAL
In 2008, Brewer ventured from his roots to become assistant coach for both the men’s and women’s golf teams at Southern Cal, where he helped both programs thrive during four seasons in Los Angeles. Brewer help produce two PAC-10 Championships teams and golfers who won National Player of the Year, National Freshman of the Year, 12 All-America certificates, three PAC-10 Player of the Year awards and two PAC-10 Freshman of the Year accolades. In addition, USC had two Curtis Cup and two Palmer Cup team members.
THE NEXT CHALLENGE
On June 18, 2012, Brewer was named the head coach at the University of Georgia. “I have been blessed to learn under some of the country’s greatest coaches, and I look forward to using these lessons,” Brewer said. “Georgia is a program that has a rich and storied history beginning with one of women’s athletics greatest visionaries and leaders, Liz Murphey. I want to help build on the tradition she started at UGA of winning championships while graduating our student-athletes.” Brewer’s first nine seasons in Athens have demonstrated that he is well on his way to doing just that. 2021-22 georgia golf • 7

LIZ MURPHEY (1978-85)
Liz Murphey, a leader in the evolution of women’s intercollegiate athletics, had been at UGA for a decade when the school named women’s golf an intercollegiate sport. She led Georgia top-10 finishes at each national championship from 1979-83 and coached Terri Moody and Cindy Schreyer to individual national titles. Murphey also served as SWA for 18 years and guided UGA women’s athletics to six SEC AllSports titles from 1984-94.
BEANS KELLY (1985-00)
Never labeled as predictable, Beans Kelly resigned in 2000 while seemingly on top of the college golf world. Under her tutelage, the Lady Bulldogs won 43 team and 33 individual titles, including Vicki Goetze’s 1992 NCAA title; captured seven SEC crowns; and posted eight NCAA top-10 finishes. She was named National Coach of the Year in 1998 and in 2000 became the youngest coach inducted into the NGCA Hall of Fame.
TODD McCORKLE (2000-07) Todd McCorkle arrived in Athens just months after leading Arizona to the national championship. The next spring, McCorkle coached Georgia to the program’s first-ever NCAA team title and became just the second coach in Division I history to win backto-back NCAA championships at two schools. McCorkle also led the Bulldogs to two SEC titles and seven of his Bulldog golfers combined to earn 11 All-America certificates. KELLEY HESTER (2007-12)
Kelley Hester returned to her alma mater in June 2007 and furthered the storied tradition of Georgia Golf. She led the Bulldogs to a pair of top-20 finishes in her five campaigns in Athens. Individually, Marta Silva Zamora blossomed under Hester’s tutelage to become the consensus National Player of the Year in 2011 and five different Bulldogs combined to secure eight AllAmerica certificates during Hester’s tenure.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 1981
Terri Moody moved atop the leaderboard midway through the second round of the 1981 AIAW Nationals at the UGA Golf Course and held off a late charge from Miami’s Patti Rizzo to win Georgia’s first-ever individual national title by a female student-athlete in any sport. Moody was among a group of five golfers tied for second following an opening-round 73, but grabbed a one-stroke lead over Rizzo with a 72 on her second loop. Moody, an Athens native who was the first female studentathlete to receive a full athletic scholarship from UGA, maintained that advantage when she and TERRI MOODY Rizzo both carded third-round 1981 AIAW Medalist 75s. On the final day, Rizzo’s 75 knotted the score and forced a three-hole playoff. Moody completed the trio of holes at 1-under while Rizzo was 1-over.
1984
Cindy Schreyer claimed a dramatic win at the 1984 NCAA Championships, winning a threehole playoff with SMU’s Martha Foyer and Miami’s Missie Berteoitti with a birdie at No. 12. Schreyer had battled Arizona State’s Heather Farr through most of the tournament. Farr carded an opening-round score of 71 at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in Tarpon Springs, Fla. Schreyer, who was among seven golfers tied for eighth after the first day, rebounded to break the course record and knot herself with Farr on the leaderboard with a secondround 70. CINDY SCHREYER Farr regained a one-shot lead 1984 NCAA Medalist following the third round. While Schreyer shot 76 in the final round, Foyer and Berteotti carded 75s to force the playoff. Farr slipped to fourth with a 79, two strokes off the playoff-forcing score of 297.
1992
Vicki Goetze turned in one of the most impressive single rounds in the history of women’s collegiate golf en route to capturing top individual honors at the 1992 NCAA Championships on Arizona State University’s Karsten Golf Course. Goetze and Stanford’s Audrey Wooding led following first-round, 3-under 69s; however, Annika Sorenstam of Arizona grabbed a three-shot advantage with a second-round 68. Sorenstam maintained that same margin after both she and Goetze shot 72s on the third day. Goetze then torched the course with a 7-under 65 on the fourth day to top Sorenstam by three. VICKI GOETZE Goetze’s effort still remains as 1992 NCAA Medalist both the low single-round score in NCAA Championships history (though four other golfers have equaled the mark) and the Bulldogs’ low loop all time as well.
2001
The 2001 Bulldogs utilized three days of consistent golf to place themselves in contention and then used a spectacular final-round effort to win UGA’s first-ever national title in women’s golf. Georgia shot 298 and was among three teams tied for fourth after the opening day but climbed to sole possession of third after a second-round 295. The Bulldogs improved to 293 in the third round but still trailed top-ranked Duke by four entering the final 18 holes. Georgia seized contol early in the fourth round, tying the Blue Devils by No. 5 and then surging to a three-shot lead at No. 6. Duke never got closer than two shots thereafter. Georgia clinched the title with steely resolve. After a trio of bogeys at No. 16, UGA played the par-5 No. 17 at 3-under to all but seal the national title. The Bulldogs’ fourth-round score of 290 was six shots better than any other team in the field, as Reilley Rankin and Summer Sirmons carded a pair of 72s, while Laura Henderson and Angela Jerman both shot 73. All four of those Bulldogs finished among the top 18 individuals, with Rankin tying for 10th at 292, Henderson and Jerman both tying for 13th at 294 and Sirmons tied for 18th at 296.
