If it weren't for an e-mail and a set of lost golf clubs, Greta Isabella Voelker may never have ended up at the University of Texas.

Now, almost three later, Voelker, who was named the 2017 Big 12 Freshman of the Year, has played in 26 career tournaments for the Longhorns and is on track to play the best golf of her collegiate career.

Voelker recorded a strong showing at the NCAA Austin Regional last May, carding a season-best three-under-par 213 [70-72-71], and won the Dutch Ladies Amateur Championship this August by seven strokes with a nine-under-par 279 [66-73-67].
