karen davies - 2000 

Karen Davies came to the University of 

Florida as a freshman from England. She 

would leave as one of the most decorated 

golfers in program history, a distinction 

she still holds to this day. Davies is one of 

only six golfers in school history to win an 

SEC individual championship, which she 

accomplished in 1986 as a sophomore. She 

was a three-time All-American who also 

helped the Lady Gators to two SEC team titles, in addition to being 

a member of back-to-back NCAA Championship teams (1985-86). 

Davies also excelled in international competition as she helped the 

European team retain the Curtis Cup twice from 1986-88. Davies in 

still an active player on the LPGA Tour and has garnered more than 

$250,000 in career earnings. 

Page dunlap - 1998 

Page Dunlap arrived in Gainesville in 

1984, following her older brother Scott’s 

footsteps to become a Florida golfer. She 

made an immediate impact and was 

named a two-time All-American, while 

also being a member of two-straight NCAA 

Championship squads in 1985 and 1986. 

The 1986 Lady Gator golf team was the 

only team in the history of the program to 

win the state, conference and national titles all in the same season. 

Dunlap continued to make history in 1986 after being named an 

All-Conference selection and becoming the first and only female 

golfer in school history to win an individual NCAA Championship. 

She also received the Broderick Award for golf in 1986-an award 

given annually to the nation’s top female collegiate student-athlete 

in each sport. 

Mary Hafeman - 1998 

Mary Hafeman transferred to the University 

of Florida from the University of South 

Florida in 1977. Hafeman easily adjusted to 

her new surroundings and was named team 

captain and MVP two years in a row. She 

twice ranked among the top-five amateur 

golfers in the country by Golf Digest. In 

1980, Hafeman helped the U.S. Team retain 

the Curtis Cup with a 13-5 victory over the 

Europeans. She played professionally on the LPGA Tour until 1985, 

when injuries forced her to retire. In 1987, Hafeman was elected 

a member of PGA of America, becoming one of the few woman 

professionals in the country at that time. In 2003, she was appointed 

Golf Director of the Ocean Hammock GC in Palm Coast, Fla., where 

she is considered one of the top-50 female golf instructors in the 

nation. Hafeman took her experience to the next level as she was 

recently named the new Director of Golf at LPGA International Golf 

Courses in Daytona Beach, Fla. 

donna Horton - 1978 

Donna Horton was the biggest name in the 

young history of the women’s golf program 

when she arrived on campus from UNC 

Greensboro in 1974. Horton would go on to 

win the Tucker Invitational during her first 

season as a Gator and would follow the win 

with three more victories during the 1975 

season. However, those accomplishments 

paled in comparison to the year she had in 

1976. In January, she was named to the U.S. Curtis Cup team (the 

female equivalent of the Walker Cup). The Horton-led United States 

team defeated the Europeans 11-6 to retain the cup. The high point 

of the year came in August when she defeated Marianne Bretton to 

win the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship. Horton would go on 

to have a 15-year LPGA career before retiring in 1992 with more than 

$900,000 in career-earnings. 

Suzanne Jackson - 2006 

A native of LaGrange, Ga., Jackson was 

named UF’s Woman Athlete of the Year in 

1974, while also earning team Most Valuable 

Player recognition twice. She captured 

three collegiate tournament titles before 

graduating with a degree in journalism in 

1974. Following her college career, Jackson 

became an instrumental figure at the LPGA, 

earning the rank of Director of Tournament 

Operations in 1984. She went on to become one of the first three 

women to ever officiate the U.S. Open Men’s Championship, and 

she also served as an official at The Masters during her career. In 

1996, Jackson was awarded the Patty Berg, named after the founder 

of the LPGA and given in acknowledgement of her diplomacy, 

sportsmanship, goodwill and contributions to the game. Prior to her 

passing in 1998, Jackson was widely regarded as one of the world’s 

top experts on the Rules of Golf. 

deb Richard - 1995 

If there is one name that stands as the bar 

by which all other Lady Gators golfers 

are measured, that name is Deb Richard. 

Richard is the only female golfer in school 

history to win multiple SEC titles, which 

she did three times in a row (‘82-’84). Her 

titles were not the result of luck, as she won 

all three by at least three strokes. In 1984, 

Richard helped the Lady Gators to the SEC 

team title and won the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship. Then 

in 1985, as a senior, Richard was named the initial SEC Women’s 

Golfer of the Year. She capped off her collegiate tenure by finishing 

second in the NCAA Championship and receiving the Broderick 

Award for golf. Richard has continued her success on the professional 

level where she has earned almost three million dollars during her 

17-year LPGA career.

It wasn’t as easy as the year before, but UF took home the 

NCAA Championship trophy for a second-straight year, 

matching Miami’s back-to-back national titles in 1977-78. To 

add icing to the cake, Florida junior Page Dunlap claimed 

the individual crown with a one-stroke victory over New 

Mexico’s Caroline Keggi and Michelle Estill of Arizona 

State. Florida fell three strokes behind intra-state rival 

Miami after the opening round, but moved into a tie with 

the Hurricanes after the second day and took a five-stroke 

edge into the final round. UF struggled on the front nine 

during the last day, but regrouped on the back nine to post

seC ChaMpionship TeaMs 

1981, 1982, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1991, 1995 

From 1981 to 1987, lady Gator 

golfers claimed five of seven SeC 

Titles. Also during that reign, the 

1983 and 1985 teams each came 

in second at the conference 

tournament. In addition, lady 

Gator golf teams brought home 

first-place hardware from two 

nCAA national Championships 

during the six-year span. 

The 1986 team not only won the SEC Title, but also claimed the NCAA Championship. 

The 1985-86 team still holds the school record for most tournament titles won in a season 

(10). Karen Davies won the SEC individual title as a sophomore. 

The 1991 team claimed the program’s fourth SEC Title, as the Lady Gators outplayed the 

field by six strokes. 

The 1984 Lady Gators claimed the program’s third SEC Title with a six-stroke victory. 

The 1987 team successfully defended its SEC Championship Title with a two-stroke 

victory to earn back-to-back conference titles. 

The 1995 Lady Gator golf team earned UF’s most recent women’s SEC title. 

Florida’s lineup of Dina Taylor, Kimberly Little, Sarah Jones, Jeanne-Marie Busuttil 

and Ann Pohira each earned All-SEC honors in 1995, an unprecedented feat in league 

history. Taylor was crowned the individual SEC medalist, as she shot a 217 (69-76-72) 

at the league championships.

lynn Connelly 

71-72-68=211 (1981) 

Lynn Connelly became the first Lady 

Gator to win an SEC Championship 

when she captured the title by eight 

strokes in 1981. Her win was the largest 

margin of victory in any of Florida’s 

SEC Championships. 

Connelly was one of the leaders on the Florida team which 

also captured the championship at the inaugural SEC Women’s 

Golf Championships.

74-72-71=217 (1983) 

73-73-72=218 (1984) 

Deb Richard is the only Florida women’s 

golfer to win multiple SEC titles. She 

won her first in 1982 and then captured 

two more in 1983 and 1984. 

Richard recorded a four-stroke win in 1982, while she outplayed 

the field in 1983 by three strokes, and captured her third title in 

1984 six shots ahead of the competition. 

Richard was also the 1984 U.S. Women’s Amateur Champion. 

As a senior in 1985, she was named captain of the Lady Gator 

golf team and received the Broderick Award as the outstanding 

female collegiate golfer. She was the winner of seven 

tournaments in her UF career, as well as runner-up at the 1985 

NCAA Championships. 

karen davies 

77-75-69=221 (1986) 

Karen Davies narrowly escaped with 

her SEC Championship, winning by one 

stroke as a sophomore in 1986. 

She was a three-time All-America 

selection (1986, 87, 88). In 1987, 

the season after she won her SEC 

Championship, she was named SEC 

Player of the Year. 

Cheryl Morley 

75-68-68=211 (1988) 

Cheryl Morley won the 1988 SEC 

title with a two-shot margin over the 

tournament field. 

In Morley’s career as a Lady Gator (1986- 

89), she was named All-SEC three times 

and All-America all four years of her collegiate career. She was 

the first UF women’s golfer to receive All-America honors every 

year of her playing career. 



individual seC ChaMpions 

In her senior season, Morley battled back from an early season 

shoulder injury, which kept her out of the line-up for most of 

the fall. But she came back strong, posting top nine individual 

finishes in every spring tournament except the NCAA 

Championships, where she finished 11th. 

As a freshman, Morley was a member of the Lady Gator squad 

which captured the 1986 national championship. It was the 

second consecutive title for the Florida women’s golf program, 

still the only women’s golf program in SEC history to win a 

national title. 

dina Taylor 

69-76-72=217 (1995) 

Dina Taylor won her title by the 

closest margin of any Lady Gator 

SEC Championship medalist. The 

win came down to a one-hole playoff 

against teammate Jeanne-Marie Busuttil 

for Taylor to win her conference 

championship in 1995. 

In addition, the 1995 team also won the SEC team title to mark 

the first time Florida had swept the SEC team and individual 

crowns since 1986. Taylor received honorable mention All- 

America honors as a freshman in 1993 and as a junior in 1995 

by the National Golf Coaches Association. During her 40tournament 

career, Taylor finished in the top-10 21 times. Her 

career stroke average was 76.73. Taylor’s career low round 

was a four under par 68 at the 1993 Ryder/Florida Women’s 

Collegiate. Her low tournament also came at the Ryder, when 

she finished with an overall score of 214. 

Aimee Cho 

72-73-71=216 (2003) 

Aimee Cho became the second freshman 

in UF history to win medalist honors 

at the SEC Championships. Cho sank a 

30-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to 

win the title by one stroke. She shot an 

even-par 216 (72-73-71) to win the title, 

including a career and tournament-low 

one-under-par 71 in windy conditions on 

the final day. The freshman was named GolfWorld Player of the 

Week after her performance at the SEC Championships. Cho 

left the team in July of 2004 to pursue a professional career.
