Yvonne Cox arrived at Campbell in the fall of 1996 fresh off a West Virginia State amateur title and joined a golf program that would become one of the nation's best over the next four years.
 
A relative late-starter in the game, Vonnie's all-around athleticism and competitive drive propelled her to a pair of top-10 finishes in the ASUN Championship and two NCAA regional appearances.
 
After graduating in 2000, Vonnie qualified for the U.S. Women's Amateur Championship then embarked on a professional career.  Over five seasons, she made 64 starts on the LPGA Developmental circuit – now known as the Epson Tour – and qualified for the 2004 U.S. Open.
 
She entered the business field and took an extended break from the game but regained her passion for the sport.  She has already won a pair of tournaments while producing a top-10 finish at the 2023 LPGA Senior Championship.
 
Through the years, she has stayed in contact with her fellow Campbell Golf alumni and has returned to participate in the annual Battle for the Creek tournament in early November.
 
Now based in Williamsburg, Virginia, Vonnie is a teaching pro in addition to competing on the Legends of the LPGA Tour.
 
In the next episode of Tales from the Creek, Yvonne Cox-Holmes chats with Stan Cole about her family's influence on her sporting career, her path to Campbell, where she was offered scholarships in both golf and softball, her professional career and more.
