Sarah LeBrun Ingram (née LeBrun, born 1965/1966) is an American amateur golfer, a member of the Tennessee Golf Hall of Fame and the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame.[2] She is a former All-American golfer at Duke University who became a three-time winner of the U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur.[a] Ingram represented the U.S. on the Curtis Cup team in 1992, 1994 and 1996. She is a member of the Duke Athletics Hall of Fame. In 1993, Golf Digest, Golfweek and Golf World named her either number one amateur or Amateur Player of the Year.[4] At age 30, despite winning many titles, she made the decision not to turn pro. She gave up her golf career because she wanted to raise a family and also because of a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.[2] After a 20 year interval of not playing the sport, in 2018 she agreed co-chair 118th U.S. Women's Amateur and was tapped to serve as (non-playing) captain of the 2020 U.S. Curtis Cup team (postponed until 2021). She began playing again and won the 2020 Tennessee Women's Senior Amateur, then won the 2021 Ladies National Golf Association Senior Championship.
