Brooks took home Florida’s 1A championship while leading Lake May Prep to the team title. It was a breakthrough season for Brooks, who lost the state title in a playoff as a freshman and was well off the pace as a sophomore.
Brooks, who is ranked No. 4 by the American Junior Golf Association and No. 15 by Golfweek, won her state title last fall, and the Wake Forest commit has been on a roll since.
In November, she won the Polo Golf Junior Classic. In January, she claimed first at the Women’s South Atlantic Amateur championship (The Sally). And earlier this month, she brought home another trophy at the 100th edition of the Women’s Southern Golf Association Amateur, which attracted a top field of players from 15 Southern states and the District of Columbia.
