Underhill was rewarded with the honor after finishing second in Butler University?s North-South Classic, while earning her 13th all-tournament honor as a member of the Golden Eagles.
Underhill finished in second place at the Jacksonville (Fla.) Golf Club after carding a two-round total of 150 to help her team finish in fourth place. Her all-tournament selection broke Tennessee Tech?s school record of 12, which was held by former player and current assistant coach Kylie Rogers.
Quickly becoming one of the Golden Eagles? top golfers during her sophomore season, Underhill received the team?s MVP award as a junior and had the lowest average on the team with a 79.9. She led the way for her team in six of their 12 tournaments, was the squad?s top putter and helped the Eagles to a third-place finish in the OVC Championships, taking all-tourney honors with her fourth-place individual finish.
So far this season Underhill has played six rounds of golf, posting a low score of 74 and averaging 78.5 per round.
A three-time state tournament participant during her high school career, Beth is the daughter of Gentry and Charlotte Underhill of McMinnville and is majoring in human ecology with a housing and design concentration.
