Keira DeLand is swapping out Alaska's mountains for the rolling hills of Tennessee.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Following a season during which the Lee University Flames placed 10th in the NCAA Women’s Division II Golf National Championships, the team is reaching out to the 49th State to upgrade its lineup.
“I wanted to win both of them,” DeLand said prior to her departure down south. “That was a goal I set for myself earlier in the season.”DeLand has been playing the sport for most of her life, crediting golf as something she could do with most of her family. As the years went on, DeLand realized she had a chance to turn her talents on the course into something more.
“She used to always carry her clubs and ride her bike over, and was very avid at golf right from the get-go,” Palmer Golf Course General Manager George Collum said. “We could tell she had a lot of talent right away. It’s been fun watching her develop and get better.”“Golf is something in the state that’s not really recognized,” DeLand said. “Some people didn’t even know that you could play golf in college. But with the five months that we do have, we’re just like everyone else.
