2017 championship	Former Furman University teammates Taylor Totland, 22, of Tinton Falls, N.J., and Alice Chen, 21, of Princeton, N.J., defeated recent University of Georgia graduates Sammi Lee and Mary Ellen Shuman, 4 and 3, in the championship match at The Dunes Golf & Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Quotable	"I'm just sitting here thinking about all the little details. … We get to represent Furman together in the home state (Furman is in Greenville, S.C.). So I don't think you could have written up a better story. And to be co-medalists and then fight it out to win, that's pretty much as good as it gets. It's definitely not by my own doing, so I'm kind of mind blown.” -- Alice Chen
