Also qualified for the 2003 US Women's Open but missed the cut. Earned an honourable mention in the All-American team choice for 2002-2003. Finished 19th in last year's NCAA championship.

Last July, Annie became the first player in eight years to win the Utah State women's title two years in a row. She won by 12 strokes with a level par total over 54 holes.

Also a talented basketball player in her teens, Annie was the 5ft 3in point guard for three years at Lone Park High and led her team to the state championship game.
