Sarah Ingram has one of the most enviable golf records of any Tennessean. Born in Maryland, Sarah LeBrun grew up a sports enthusiast.
Though her first love was horses, she also enjoyed lacrosse, field hockey, tennis, swimming, basketball and golf. She went on to play for her high school golf and basketball teams and then on to Duke University where she majored in history and became a four-year letter winner for the Blue Devils women’s golf team (1985 – 1988).
Sarah was named All-America on two occasions, including first team honors as a junior, setting the stage for great things to come.
From 1990-96, she won more national championships and played on more international teams than any other Tennessee golfer in its hundred-year history.
