Former Green Wave great Janine Fellows returns to her alma mater as an assistant coach in 2016-17.
Fellows, 26, spent the last three seasons as the assistant coach at Clemson University under former Tulane head coach John Thomas Horton.
Fellows and Horton started the Clemson program with competition beginning in September of 2013. Fellows helped the Tigers to two NCAA Tournament appearances in the program’s first three years.
During the 2015-16 season the Tigers reached the NCAA regional and finished 45th in the final Sagarin poll and an 89-64-1 record against a national schedule. The squad had five top five finishes and finished a program best sixth-place out of 12 teams at the ACC Tournament. The ACC featured 10 NCAA Tournament teams in 2016.
Individually, Fellows helped tutor ACC Freshman of the Year Alice Hewson, who was also a first-team All-ACC selection and a first-team Academic All-ACC selection. Hewson was one of just two freshmen in the ACC to make first-team All-ACC on the course and in the classroom. Hewson’s season included a Clemson record setting 65 in her second career round.
Fellows was a strong part of Clemson's success in its first year of competition in 2013-14. Clemson reached the NCAA Tournament in its first year, just the second Clemson program to do that in its first season of competition. The Tigers ranked in the top 10 in the nation at midseason, and finished No. 22 in the final Sagarin poll against a schedule that included competition against 21 of the 24 teams that reached the national tournament. Clemson had a winning record against those teams collectively, including an 11-2-2 mark against teams that ranked 6 through 10 in the final tournament standings.
Fellows had a hand in tutoring All-American Ashlan Ramsey and All-ACC golfer Sloan Shanahan. Both also finished in the final top 40 of the Golfstat rankings as freshmen. Ramsey, a member of the LPGA Tour 2016, was a third-team All-American. Three Tigers were named to the All-ACC academic team as well. All six players on the roster were freshmen in 2013-14.
The program also had great academic success during the three years Fellows was a Clemson. The program received recognition for its APR score as among the top 10 percent in the nation in 2016. The team improved in terms of its GPA each year, including a program best 3.32 GPA for the spring of 2016 when three Tigers made the Academic All-ACC team. Two players made the Golf Coaches Association Academic Scholars team each year.
Fellows helped Houston Baptist to an outstanding 2012-13 season in both men's and women's golf. The men won three events, including the conference title, while the women won two tournaments, including the conference title.
She played in the 2010 U.S. Women's Open at Oakmont as an amateur. She was then a member of the LPGA Futures Tour from 2011-2012 and worked as an assistant golf professional near Houston, TX at Timber Creek Golf Club.
A native of Houston, Texas, Fellows played at Tulane under Horton from 2008-2011, where she was a team captain, a two-time All-Conference USA first- team selection, and the 2010 Conference USA Co-Player of the Year. She helped lead the Green Wave to a pair of conference in titles and NCAA Championship appearances in 2009 and 2010.
Fellows earned her bachelor’s degree in business management with a minor in marketing from Tulane in 2011.
