BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University women's golf team has added Kacey Walker, a transfer from Eastern Florida State College, to the squad for the 2020-21 season. Walker arrives at FAU after a storied JUCO career.
Over the past two seasons, Walker won two tournaments and had 10 top-10 finishes. That success earned her Arnold Palmer Cup nominations in 2019 and '20.
"We are excited to have Kacey join the Owl family," FAU coach Aimee Neff said of Walker, who ranked fourth among all JUCO women's golfers. "She will step in and bring immediate experience after playing the last two years at Eastern Florida State College. She cemented herself as one of the best players in NJCAA and beyond that, she is mature and eager to compete. With her athletic background and willingness to learn, we believe she will continue to improve. We can't wait to have her join us this fall!"
In 2016 the Canadian Junior Golf Association named Walker, a Mississauga, Ontario native, a National Order of Merit winner for her accomplishments as a youth player.
Walker is a welcome addition to an FAU team already on the rise. In 2019-20, the Owls posted their best scoring average (300) in program history and rose to No. 114 in the national rankings.
