Former golf phenom Lucy Li graduates from Ivy League school with 4.0 while playing on LPGA

Remember when 11-year-old Lucy Li captivated crowds at Pinehurst more than a decade ago with her ruffled skirts and ice cream? The big-brained phenom is all grown up now and playing her third full season on the LPGA. While Rose Zhang's academic schedule gets a lot of ink, Li's college career didn't get as much attention, but the end results are extraordinary. Li, 22, recently graduated from the University of Pennsylvania summa cum laude with a 4.0 GPA. Li now boasts an LPGA card and a degree in data analytics and psychological sciences from an Ivy League institution. Li started her professional golf career around the same time she started taking online courses at Penn. Advertisement "While COVID set me back a few years in my golf career, it also gave me the time and space I needed to really dig into my pursuit of higher education," Li posted on Instagram. "It's a reminder to me that not all bad is bad, and that life will endlessly take you down funny paths and winding roads until you reach where it intended you to be. "Before anyone asks me why I did any of this to myself while already having a full time job as a pro golfer let me answer: I'm a huge nerd. I've always been driven by curiosity, love of learning, and self-improvement, both on and off the course. It's been an honor and privilege to continue that journey at Penn. I am now armed with a lot of useful information, better leadership and communication skills, but more importantly a lot of really interesting but mostly useless facts about a lot of different things." Lucy Li of the United States plays her shot from the second tee during the first round of The Chevron Championship 2025 at The Club at Carlton Woods on April 24, 2025 in The Woodlands, Texas. Li, who turned professional at age 17, counts Johnny Miller as a mentor and was pen pals with the late great Mickey Wright. Currently No. 78 in the world, Li has yet to contend this season and wasn't in the field at the 80th U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills. She is playing this week at the ShopRite LPGA Classic, still searching for her first LPGA victory.

Mississippi State Football sets standard with record GPA

Mississippi State's 2024 football season didn't go quite as planned. After a 2-10 record and going winless in SEC play, there is room for improvement. However, the Bulldogs pulled off a major win off the field. Jeff Lebby's program has enjoyed success with a record 3.05 GPA to end 2024. It was the second straight semester they've accomplished that feat after setting the record of 3.02 in Spring 2024. Not bad for a newcomer in his first year. Advertisement What might seem like a minor accomplishment to some is turning heads Starkville. Overall, Mississippi State's student-athletes achieved another record semester for Fall 2024. The Bulldogs posted the highest departmental GPA on record with a 3.34. It marked MSU's 15th consecutive semester with a 3.0 or higher, according to MSU athletics. What is expected for this year? Much the same for Lebby and the Bulldogs.

Nick Barr-Mira, Stone Blanton, Hayes Hammond, Zach Haynes, Grant Jackson, Jacoby Jackson, Kade Kolka, Ethan Miner, Blake Shapen and Seydou Traore all maintained a GPA of 3.2 or better. If the trend with Lebby continues, the Bulldogs could set another record in the classroom. They'll be looking to improve on the field as well, which starts with a difficult four-game non-conference schedule in the fall. MSU opens the 2025 season on the road against Southern Miss on Saturday, Aug. 30.
