Emma Lavy Bradford

Emma Lavy Bradford left a lasting mark on Fayetteville High School as one of the most decorated golfers in school history. A four-time All-State selection and two-time individual state champion, Emma helped guide the Lady Bulldogs to three state titles during her time on the team. Her steady presence and championship mindset culminated in a senior-year victory at the 7A State Tournament, where she carded a 75 to clinch the individual title and solidify her place among Arkansas’ elite young golfers.

Her success earned her a scholarship to the University of Arkansas, where she competed as part of the Razorback Women’s Golf Team at the highest level of collegiate golf. At Arkansas, Emma continued to thrive, balancing the pressure of SEC competition with the same poise and work ethic that defined her high school years. She consistently represented the Razorbacks with pride, contributing to team success and earning the respect of coaches and teammates alike.

Emma’s journey through the game is a story of talent, drive, and humility. Whether winning state championships or competing on the national stage, she led with quiet confidence and purpose. Today, she stands as an example for young athletes across Arkansas - proving that excellence isn’t just about trophies, but about how you carry yourself while earning them.
