UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Head coach Denise St. Pierre and the Penn State women’s golf team announced Carrie Sexton as an assistant coach earlier this week.
“We are extremely excited to be adding Carrie Sexton to our team as assistant coach. Her experience caddying on the LPGA tour for seventeen years and to be doing that with one of the most successful players over that time will carry over to her coaching of the team,” mentioned St. Pierre. “Carrie brings a different approach and experience to this role, and we all look forward to learning from her.”
Coach Carrie comes to Happy Valley after spending the past 17 years between the LPGA and Legends Tour as a professional golf caddie and a personal assistant. Most notably, Sexton has been the personal caddie for Rosie Jones on the Legends Tour. Sexton was on the bag for each of Jones’ nine Legends Tour victories including most recently at the 2019 BJ’s Charity Championship.
Sexton also assisted Jones in the lengthy planning process for the 2011 Solheim Cup while also managing and assisting the 12 LPGA professionals who comprised the 2011 United States Team captained by Jones.
Along with being a professional golf caddie working out of Hilton Head, South Carolina, Sexton assisted in the planning and execution of the Judson Collegiate Invitational and Legends Pro-AM for the past five years.
From 2006-2015, Sexton also worked as an event planner for Rosie Jones Golf Getaways planning vacations for women to Scotland, Ireland, Pebble Beach and many other golf destinations.
Sexton, a native of Syracuse, New York, played collegiate softball at SUNY Oswego while earning her Bachelor’s Degree in political science.
“I am very honored and excited to have this opportunity to work for a premier University and golf program,” commented Sexton. “I am extremely grateful to Coach St. Pierre for giving me the chance to work under her leadership, learn from her many years of experience, and work with these dedicated and talented student athletes at Penn State.”
