Title: Brooke Pancake Capital One Academic All-American of the Year Post by: pmull on August 09, 2012, 02:12:39 PM Brooke had a great career at Alabama both on the golf course and in the classroom. She leaves Bama with a full trophy case including a National Championship. I hope to see her playing on the LPGA soon.
Quote Brooke Pancake, who led the Alabama women's golf team to its first national championship in May, has become the first Alabama student-athlete to be named the Capital One Academic All-America of the Year. Quote Pancake, a Chattanooga, Tenn., native who graduated with a 4.0 GPA from Alabama in May, was the individual runner-up at the 2012 NCAA Championship. On the course, she was a three-time All-American on the course -- twice a first-team selection -- and was the winner of the 2012 Honda Award, presented to the top collegiate golfer in the nation. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/08/brooke_pancake_becomes_alabama.html (http://media.al.com/sports_impact/photo/11413637-large.jpg) Title: Re: Brooke Pancake Capital One Academic All-American of the Year Post by: 2Stater on August 09, 2012, 06:30:08 PM Brooke had a great career at Alabama both on the golf course and in the classroom.

There are very few Americans doing much these days and the tour is suffering because of it. I hope she lights it up.
