Kylie Pratt arrived at Campbell in January of 1997 and over the course of her three-year career, became the school's first women's golf All-American.  In the process, she led the Camels to three-straight NCAA regional appearances, two Atlantic Sun Conference titles and a 14th-place finish in the 1997 NCAA Championship.
 
After graduating in December 1999 with a degree in sport management, Pratt began her coaching career while pursuing her M.Ed at her alma mater.  During her three seasons on the staff, Campbell won eight tournaments, advanced to NCAA Regional play three times and won a pair of ASUN titles.
 
She embarked on her professional career in 2002 and played on the LPGA FUTURES Tour through 2006.  From there she started a career as an LPGA Tour caddie, manager and college recruiting consultant.
