Georgia’s Emilie Burger was tabbed second-team All-America by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) on Wednesday, making her just the third four-time All-American in the program’s history.
Burger, a native of Hoschton, Georgia and a product of Mill Creek High School, finished the 2012-13 season at No. 22 in the Golfstat head-to-head national rankings and No. 24 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index. She was a two-time individual winner during her senior campaign, capturing medalist honors at both the Mason Rudolph Championship and the Bryan National Collegiate. In 11 tournaments, she notched five top-10 finishes and nine top-20 efforts. Burger led the Bulldogs in virtually every statistical category, including stroke average (73.47), par-or-better rounds (15), birdies (86) and eagles (4).
Over the past four years, Burger was tabbed third-team All-America by Golfweek as a freshman, honorable mention by Golfweek as a sophomore and second-team by both Golfweek and the WGCA as a junior.
