Carolina junior Kayla Smith played a key role in the improvement of the women's golf team this past season. The Burlington, N.C., native was named to the 2022 All-Atlantic Coast Conference women's golf team and ended the season with the second-best stroke average on the team.
This was the UNC's first season under head coach Aimee Neff, to whom Smith credits the team's progress between last season to this one. Smith tees off Thursday in the Carolina Golf Classic presented by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina at Kinston Country Club.
