''She is not worthy of that she became first in the competition.'' (I mean; in the competition, she does not deserve being first.)

Is it okay? if not, how can I correct it.


Thanks,

What about this sentence, is it wrong?

I am not a teacher.

You can't use 'worthy' like this.

She is not a worthy winner.

She was not worthy of her first place.

Is it correct to say 'she is not worthy of being the winner'?
