No. 17 Whitney Neuhauser, a Barboursville native and rising senior at Virginia, recorded a 1-up win over No. 48 Esther Lee of Los Alamitos, Calif.

Neuhauser, a rising senior at the University of Virginia and a graduate of Monticello High School, outlasted UVa teammate Lauren Greenlief in a 20-hole victory in the 84th VSGA Women’s Amateur Championship at Danville Golf Club.

How cool is it that two former Monticello High School golfers are competing in the NCAA Division I golf tournaments this week?

Around this time last year, Whitney Neuhauser made a giant leap forward in her golf game. She hopes this week’s ACC women’s championships provide a similar springboard.
