Anna, 22, is a student at Georgia State University and on her latest two outings for the golf team she has finished fifth – and on both occasions won the weekly accolade from her conference, the Colonial Athletic Association.
In her latest tourna
ment Anna finished five shots clear of her teammates after two sub-par rounds of 71 and a three-over 75. She had nine birdies during the event and her achievement was beaten only by two other players. She helped her team into second place.
Anna, from Consett & District Golf Club, has also been involved in a recent off-course drama. A few weeks ago Atlanta, where she lives, was hit by tornados and her flat was badly damaged and she had to move to new accommodation.
But the weather was not allowed to interfere with golf. Shortly afterwards Georgia State hosted their home tournament and won the team competition, with Anna claiming fourth place in the individual event. She has been in the top 20 in eight of Georgia State's nine events this season.
Anna was a semi-finalist in the 2007 English championship and took fifth place in both the English strokeplay championship and the world university championship.
