Jacksonville University

Only the second women's golfer to qualify for an NCAA Regional Championship in program history, Welch was a winner throughout her time at JU, both on- and off-the-course. She was a medalist three times in her career, winning Match Play against Princeton on March 20, 2012, and also captured medalist honors at the Cincinnati Spring Invitational in March 2014 and the Kiawah Island Classic, the largest women's college golf field in the country, in March 2015.
 
She was a three-time All-Atlantic Sun selection, two-time All-Tournament Team performer and the ASUN Women's Golfer of the Year in 2015, the year she qualified for the NCAA Regional as an individual. Her 66 in the third round of the Cincinnati Invite is still tied for the lowest round school in program history, and she has the third-best scoring average in the history of the program.
 
A well-balanced student-athlete, she was the ASUN Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2015, as well as a WGCA All-American Scholar the same year and an ASUN All-Academic selection on 2014-15.
 
Since graduating, she spent a year as a Graduate Assistant Coach with the team in 2015-16, before pursuing a professional career. As a pro, Welch has three wins on mini-tours, posted four top-10s on the Epson Tour in 2017 and also qualified for the 2017 U.S. Women's Open.
 
Welch becomes just the second women's golfer inducted into the Hall of Fame, following Joanne Richards in 2011.
