Furman’s Anna Morgan Earns All-America Honors
SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Furman’s Anna Morgan has been named a first-team All-American by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA), as announced on Friday by the WGCA.
A senior from Spartanburg, S.C., Morgan, who recently competed in her fourth-straight NCAA regional, concluded the season ranked 17th nationally in the final Scoreboard by clippd rankings. A three-time Southern Conference Player of the Year and two-time SoCon Female Athlete of the Year selection, Morgan recorded a 70.1 stroke average over 33 rounds this season, the lowest single-season stroke average in the history of the Paladin program. Her career stroke average of 72.2 also is the lowest in Furman history.
Morgan, who competed in her third-straight Augusta National Women’s Amateur in April, won her second-consecutive SoCon individual championship in 2024. The victory marked the eighth individual win of her career and the fourth during the 2023-24 season, both Paladin records. A four-time All-SoCon selection, Morgan notched seven top-5 finishes in 11 events this season, including victories at the Lady Paladin Invitational, the Landfall Tradition, the Lady Puerto Rico Classic, and the SoCon Championship. She will represent the United States at the Arnold Palmer Cup this summer.
Morgan’s honor is the 24th WGCA All-America citation awarded to members of the Furman women’s golf team since Greenville’s own Sherri Turner won the program’s first All-America award in 1979.
“I am so proud of Anna for closing out her storied career as a first ream All-American,” said Furman head coach Jeff Hull. “She had one of the best seasons in the country and one of the best in Furman history, and I am looking forward to following her this summer as she prepares for her professional career.”
The criteria used to determine the WGCA All-American teams include head-to-head competition, comparison with common opponents, scoring average, place finishes in regular season events and tournament wins, and strength of schedule. Twelve athletes were named to the first team, while 12 athletes also comprised the second team. In addition, 26 honorable mention All-America citations were given.
