Katie Brophy

Title:
Assistant Coach

Former Notre Dame standout golfer Katie Brophy enters her fifth season as an assistant coach of the Indiana women's golf program. Her duties include on-course coaching, recruiting and budget oversight. She also organizes the IU Invitational and various alumni events.

Over the last four years, she has helped the Hoosiers to three top-five finishes at the Big Ten Championships and a pair of NCAA Postseason appearances.

Brophy had an outstanding playing career at Notre Dame. As a two-time team captain, she recorded a school-record three tournament victories during her career, earning medalist honors at the 2005 Jeannine McHaney Invitational/Central Regional Preview, the 2003 BIG EAST Championship and the 2002 Peggy Kirk Bell Invitational. She also boasted a 77.46 per round scoring average in 131 career rounds during her four year career, good for the second best per-round average in school history. Brophy also earned a spot on the All-Big East team in 2003 and 2004, as well as the team MVP in 2003 and 2005.

In addition to those honors, Brophy's name appears in other spots throughout the Fighting Irish record books. She holds the best 36-hole total in program history with a 141 at the Jeannine McHaney Invitational/Central Regional Preview during her junior season. Furthermore, Brophy set a program record for most rounds counted toward team scoring with 33 during the 2002-03 campaign and also ranks first in program history with 118 rounds counting towards the team score for her career. Additionally, her percentage of rounds scored, .901, is the third-highest in Notre Dame history.

Brophy also shined in the classroom while a student-athlete at Notre Dame. She was a four-time member on the National Golf Coaches Association's (NGCA) All-Scholar team, a two-time Dean's List member at Notre Dame and was honored as a BIG EAST Academic All-Star following the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons.
In making the jump from to the coaching ranks, Brophy couldn't be more excited to join Wallman and the Indiana women's golf program.

Brophy also joined IU with exceptional international amateur experience. During the summer of 2005, Brophy was one of 10 collegiate golfers selected to compete in the NCAA All-Star Golf Tour in Asia. The squad spent one week in South Korea, two weeks in Japan and then the final week was spent in Hong Kong and China. She also competed at the 103rd U.S. Women's Amateur Championship in the summer of 2003 and advanced to the second round of match play at the 104th U.S. Women's Amateur Championship in 2004.

A native of Spokane, Wash., Brophy graduated from Notre Dame in May of 2006 with a degree in sociology. She earned a graduate degree in Athletics Administration from Indiana in 2009.
