A 20-year-old college sophomore made history by becoming the first amateur in 33 years to win a PGA Tour event, forgoing the seven-figure prize money. Simultaneously, Tara VanDerveer, coaching at Maples Pavilion, achieved a record-breaking 1,203rd victory in NCAA basketball history. She was honored with a special jacket and a commemorative jersey from Nike, although her game was notably absent from national television. VanDerveer's milestone was also recognized with an appearance on SportsCenter.

It's really cool that Tara VanDerveer is on SportsCenter right now. Maybe the best coach in any sport (at least in this country) who no one ever talks about.
History at Maples Pavilion for Tara VanDerveer and Stanford. “Basketball was invented as, always has been and always will be, a team sport. It is never about one person. This is not about me.” Well, today, it kinda is. Well-deserved celebration. 📸: @NhatVMeyer https://t.co/YKuf9si5bi
Tara VanDerveer received a jacket from Nike with a mark for each game won, 1,203 in total. She also received a commemorative 1203 jersey. #ncaaw https://t.co/5cLNXtnWHv
WOW! What a history-making sports day. It had been 33 years since the Lions had reached the NFC Championship Game or an amateur had won on the PGA Tour, until today. And oh yeah, by the way, Tara VanDerveer got her 1,203rd victory. The most in NCAA basketball history. #sports
A college sophomore is about to win a @PGATOUR event for the first time since Phil Mickelson in 1991. Golf remains an insanely inexplicable game.
I can’t believe Tara’s record-setting game isn’t on national television. (No, the PAC-12 Network doesn’t count.)
