Nebraska's Kate Smith earned a chance to make a dream come true when she received an invitation on Wednesday, Jan. 13, to compete at the 2021 Augusta National Women's Amateur this spring.

The international field of 72 women amateurs will hit the course at the Champions Retreat Golf Club on March 31. Following the second round on April 1, the field will be cut to 30 with the final round to be played at Augusta National on April 3.

In August of 2020, Smith finished in the top 16 in stroke play at the 120th U.
