Deacons Making Headlines on the DURAMED Futures Tour

Former, current and future Demon Deacons were all making noise this past week at the DURAMED Futures Tour’s USI Championship.

Current Deacon Natalie Sheary made her second start of the summer at the USI. Despite missing the cut, she managed to make the cut two weeks ago in her debut and finished tied for 31st.

Former Deac Maggie Simons has had her share of ups and downs this summer but last Saturday was certainly the highlight of the year thus far. She recorded her first-career hole-in-one on the par-3 13th, knocking an 8-iron in from 132-yards.

Finally, future Deacon Stephanie Kim, who will be a freshman this coming fall, was selected to represent Team USA in the PING Junior Solheim Cup. Kim has been a full-time member of the DURAMED Futures Tour each of the last two seasons.

Both Kim and Simons made the most recent Futures Tour Weekly Release. Kim recently talked with Lisa Mickey about the Solheim Cup and her future at Wake Forest while Simons was picked as the “Quote of the Week”.
