Dick Harmon: Anna Kennedy rises up when it counted in BYU's third straight WCC golf championship

Anna Kennedy hits a shot during the 2017 Utah Women’s State Amateur on Friday, Aug. 4, 2017, at Davis Park Golf Course in Fruit Heights. Kennedy finished runner-up to Kelsey Chugg.

It’s the kind of sports story you like to see because it embodies the essence of competition.

BYU sophomore Anna Kennedy helped raise the WCC golf championship trophy this past week in San Diego at Carlton Oaks Golf Club with as much pride as anybody on the squad. Though she struggled mightily all week, she swung the hammer at the end.

It marked the third straight conference title for the BYU’s women’s golf team — a great accomplishment for the program and coach of the year Carrie Roberts.
