O'Sullivan was attempting to turn professional but in October she withdrew from the second stage of LPGA Q-School
(December 31, 2016) -- As reported by Golfweek 2015 U.S. Women's Amateur champion Hannah O'Sullivan has decided to enroll at Duke for the fall semester of the 2017 season.
Originally O'Sullivan committed to USC but instead she decided to attempt a professional career only to surprisingly pull out of the second of LPGA Q-School and return her focus to competing collegiately.
“There are so many wonderful colleges in our country,” O’Sullivan wrote in an email to Golfweek, “but all aspects of Duke, from the people – coaches, team members, administrators, and student body, to the elite academics, golf program excellence, location, and traditions and values, made Duke the perfect fit for me as a student-athlete and overall person.”
O'Sullivan is currently the second ranked player in the World Amateur Golf Rankings.
