Nebraska women's golfer Kate Smith will compete in the 120th U.S. Women's Amateur, Aug. 3-9, at the Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Md.
"This means so much to me. I've always dreamed of playing in the U.S. Amateur, but the qualifiers have kind of gotten the best of me in the past," Smith said. "As a golfer, you always want to play with the best competition, and I will definitely have that opportunity in Maryland in August. After our season was cut short, any chance to play golf is welcomed. A U.S. Amateur seems like a gift right now, and I can't wait to play in such a distinguished event.
