DURHAM – At the East Lake Cup this week in Atlanta, Ga., sophomore Phoebe Brinker of the Duke women's golf team was presented with the seventh annual Tom Cousins Award. The honor recognizes a collegiate golfer(s) best representing the values of the award: excelling in academics and engagement in the community.
Brinker, a product of Wilmington, Del., organized the 2020 Senior Cup along with fellow golfer Taylor Roberts when they were seniors in high school. With the help of the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) Leadership Links, the duo hosted high school seniors who would shortly make the transition to collegiate golf in a Ryder Cup style match play tournament.
