Former Rebel Golfer Is A National Champion

Former two-time All-American Dori Carter ended her amateur career in style, leading her home state (Georgia) to the U.S. State Team Championship Thursday at Sycamore Hills Golf Club in Fort Wayne, Ind.

Carter fired a 3-under 69 in the final round and finished with a three-day total of 2-under 214 to capture the individual title as well. The Valdosta native led her team to a nine-stroke victory over Alabama.

Georgia became the first team to win multiple state team titles since the biennial event's inception in 1995. Georgia also won the title four years ago.

Devin Britton Not Done In New York

Devin Britton is not quite finished in New York. Britton lost to Roger Federer in the first round of the U.S. Open on Monday and said it was the most fun he has had in a loss.

They will play fellow Americans Jill Craybas and Eric Butorac, Thursday. The time has not been set yet, but complete coverage of the U.S. Open can be found at www.usopen.org.

There's A First Time For Everything

No team has ever won the USGA Women’s State Team Championship more than once since the biennial event began in 1995. Georgia could be the first. Led by former Rebel and two-time All-American Dori Carter, Georgia holds a four stroke lead over South Carolina after the first round at the Sycamore Hills Golf Club in Fort Wayne, Ind.

Carter shot a 3-under 69 to lead the three-person team from the Peach State to a 1-under 143 total. The best two out of three scores make up the total score.

Rebel assistant coach Alexis Rather is a member of the Mississippi Team, who stands tied for third.

Carter's low round earned her a spotlight on the front page of the official tournament site.
