Tillie Claggett exploded onto the Texas golf scene as a John Cooper School freshman finishing third at the SPC State Tournament…yes, as a freshman.

She's back a ready for a big sophomore season with some lofty goals ahead of her. Claggett recently defended her championship at BlackHorse Golf Club while shooting a 72.

The Calgary-native took up golf playing with her dad and fell in love the sport after a few lessons.

"I'd love to play professional golf and am fortunate to have a family that would be able to sport me through that," she said.
