CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. — Former Lobo women’s golfer Caroline Keggi is set to be inducted into the Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WCGA) 
Players Hall of Fame, the WGCA announced Tuesday. The induction is scheduled for Dec. 8, 2019 at Planet Hollywood Resort in Las Vegas, Nev.
Keggi is set to be inducted with a pair of other former collegiate women’s golfers including Kellee Booth of Arizona State and Liz Janangelo of Duke, and the trio will become the 76th, 77th and 78th members of the WGCA Players Hall of Fame,
A two-time All-American Lobo, Keggi transferred to UNM after competing for Ohio State as a freshman where she earned All-Big Ten honors in her inaugural campaign. Once she came to Albuquerque, Keggi exploded and remains one of the most prolific golfers in New Mexico women’s golf program history.
In her junior season, she finished tied for second at the NCAA Championships before winning the individual NCAA Champion title in 1987 as a senior. Keggi remains the only National Champion in program history. She capped off her collegiate career by winning the 1987 Honda Award, the most prestigious honor given to a college player. In addition, Keggi was runner-up at the Trans-National, as well as a member of the 1988 U.S. Curtis Cup Team.
Keggi was also a three-time WAC All-Conference Team honoree in her time at UNM, was nominated for the Women’s Sports Foundation Amateur Athlete of the Year and was named Albuquerque Sports Hall of Fame Female Athlete of the Year in 1986 and 1987.
Her professional career began in 1988 when she was invited to play in the Nabisco Dinah Shore, one of the five major championships on the LPGA tour. Keggi placed fourth at the event, which was the highest finish ever by an amateur in the prestigious event at the time. During her rookie year in 1989, she posted six top-20 finishes, and a year later, she recorded her career-low round of 67 during the first round of the U.S. Women’s Open played in Duluth, Ga., on the Atlanta Athletic Club’s Riverside Course. Keggi finished tied for sixth at the event. She went on to post seven top-10 finishes in 1990, including second place at the Stratton Mountain Classic.
Continuing her professional career in 1991, she had five top-10 finishes, her best being a second-place finish at the LPGA Bay State Classic. She added five top-10 finishes in 1992.
