Former golf standout Kylie Pratt was inducted into the Campbell Sports Hall of Fame Oct. 10. Following is her citation.
A native of Mackay, Queensland, Australia, Pratt arrived at Campbell in January of 1997 and over the course of her three-year career, became the school's first women's golf All-America selection. In the process, she led the Camels to three-straight NCAA regional appearances, two Atlantic Sun Conference titles and a 14th-place finish in the 1997 NCAA Championship.
Only five months after enrolling at Campbell, Pratt tied for second in the 1997 NCAA East Regional at Bloomington, Ill., while leading the Camels to a fifth-place finish and the program's first national tournament berth. En route to the NCAA regional, Campbell won six-straight team tournament titles. She was Campbell's low individual at the NCAA Championship, where CU finished 14th in the country.
Pratt led the Camels to the 1998 Atlantic Sun title and as a senior in 1999, claimed the conference individual championship, one of four tournaments she won that year. She finished 12th in the nation in stroke average as a senior and 23rd nationally in the Golfstat Cup.
Named Campbell's outstanding female athlete for 1998-99, Pratt played on teams that won 20 tournament titles in her three-year career. After graduating in December 1999 with a degree in sport management, Pratt began her coaching career while pursuing her M.Ed at her alma mater.
During the three seasons she assisted Coach John Crooks, Campbell won eight tournaments, advanced to NCAA Regional play three times and won a pair of Atlantic Sun Conference titles. Pratt earned her M.Ed. in December 2001.
She embarked on her professional career in 2002 and played on the LPGA FUTURES Tour through 2006. Pratt still ranks among the top 400 in LPGA FUTURES Tour all-time winnings. Among her professional playing highlights was a third-place finish at the 2004 Australian ANZ Masters. She also participated in the 2004 U.S. Women's Open Championship at the Orchards Golf Club in Massachusetts.
A resident of Orlando, Fla., Pratt is now employed as an LPGA Tour manager and caddie. While on tour she caddied for two wins including the season ending LPGA CME Tour Championship with Hee Young Park. She also serves as a recruiting consultant, having placed approximately 70 Australian athletes at U.S. colleges and universities.
