Nine of the last 12 North & South Women's Amateur champions have drawn paychecks as members of the LPGA Tour.
Mills was named a 2014-15 Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) Division I All-America Scholar earlier this month. Competing in her first collegiate event in September, she shot a 220 to win the season-opening Bucknell Invitational.
