Brinker’s secret weapon may be her golf coach and aunt, Suzy Whaley,
who just happens to be a former LPGA tour player and one of the best golf instructors in the game. Whaley holds a day job as the first female president of the PGA.
Jennifer Cleary
A Tower Hill School junior, Cleary has committed to the University of Virginia. She teamed with Brinker and Charter
of Wilmington junior Esther Park to
set the USGA Women’s State Team Championship record in 2017 by shooting a five-under, 67. Cleary blazed the way
for the trio, who placed second overall
in the national event championship, the Delaware team’s best finish ever.
Just last year, Cleary shot a 4-under, 140 for 36 holes to win the Philadelphia Girls Junior PGA Championship. She also qualified for the 43rd Girls Junior PGA Championship in Kentucky.
Christina Carroll
The William Penn High School junior has been the top player for its golf team since her freshman year. In 2018, she placed second at the Delaware Women’s Golf Association amateur championship. She was also honored last year as the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Girls Division Player of the Year (ages 16-18).
Hayley Quickel
A junior at Padua Academy, Quickel has scored well in events on the AJGA tour and the Peggy Kirk Bell tour, where she recently won with a final round of 68. She also qualified for the DIAA State Tournament as both a freshman and sophomore. She placed third in the tournament her sophomore year. Quickel has committed to James Madison University.
