Career: Doyle ended her career with 23 tournaments and 67 rounds of experience to her credit. She finished with one top 20 performance, three subpar rounds with two more at even par, and 43 rounds in the 70s. She redshirted the 2008-09 season, so she could have returned in 2012-13 as a fifth year senior but graduated in four years and left CU.

2011-12 (Jr.): She played in three tournaments and in nine rounds in her fourth year on the team, technically as a junior. She was CU’s No. 6 golfer on the best team in school history, playing in the first two events of the season, the Ptarmigan Ram Classic and New Mexico Invitational, and in one spring event at the Anuenue Spring Break Challenge where the Buffs claimed victory. Due to injury and illness, she qualified to be named to the Pac-12 All-Academic team for her performance in the classroom.

2010-11 (So.): She played in 11 events and 31 rounds in her sophomore season and finished with a stroke average of 78.16. She had one top 20 finish, 18 rounds in the 70s, two subpar rounds and a third at even par while 17 of her 28 rounds playing toward the team counted toward team scoring. She finished the fall season playing in four of five tournaments and in 11 total rounds and had a stroke average of 74.55, third best on the team and the eighth best fall season average in CU history. She opened the season with a 13th place finish in the Ptarmigan/Ram Fall Classic, her first top 20 finish, shooting an impressive 1-over par 217 over the three rounds, including a 2-under par 70 in the third round, her career best round, collegiate or otherwise. At the Heather Farr Memorial, she put up a first round 71, her second round under par of the season and third of her career, and stood tied for second and after the second round she was tied for third place. On the way home that night, she was involved in a multi-car accident and was unable to finish the tournament and she missed the Alamo Invitational, the last tournament of the fall. All 11 of her rounds counted toward team scoring in the fall and on top of her two sub par rounds, she had one addition round shooting even par. She was still feeling the effects of her injuries in the spring and her stroke average slipped to 80.15 and had seven of her 20 rounds in the 70s. She tied for 45th at the Spartan Invitational and 54th at the Big 12 Championships, shooting a 3-over 75 in the second round.

2009-10 (Fr.-RS): She played in nine of 11 tournaments (27 rounds), including all six tournaments and 18 rounds in the spring. She finished fourth on the team with a stroke average of 77.78, sixth best in CU history for a freshman and third best on the team in the spring with a stroke average of 77.39. She had one subpar round with 21 of a possible 24 rounds counting toward team scoring. After not traveling with the team to the Match Play Championships to open the season, she burst on the scene with a third-round 70 at the Ptarmigan/CSU Ram Fall Classic, the best round of her young career, collegiate or otherwise. She finished the Ptarmigan tied for 35th with a 76-77-70—223 (+7) scorecard. She opened the spring at the Northrop Grumann and finished tied for 26th in what she lists as the biggest moment of her career to-date, proving she could contend with the nation’s top golfers. She was pushing for a top 10 finish, as she was 2-over par and just two shots out of the top 10 before finishing 5-over on the final four holes. Not shaken by that finish, she used the momentum of her best finish to date and continued to play at that level the remainder of the spring, compiling four top 30 performances before the season was over, including a 29th-place at the BYU at Entrada Classic, her season best finish of 22nd at the Indiana Invitational and 28th at Big 12 Championships. She had a stretch of three consecutive rounds of 74 near the end of the season, the final two at the Indiana Invitational, helping the Buffs to a second-place finish, and first round at the Big 12 Championships, where she was tied for seventh after the first round.

2008-09 (Fr.): Redshirted; she chose to redshirt and improve her game.
