After reaching the quarterfinals of the U.S. Women's Amateur and setting a record for the lowest final round by an amateur at the U.S. Women's Open, Oregon golfer Kiara Romero won the Mark H. McCormack medal as the top female amateur golfer in the world.
England's Charlotte "Lottie" Woad won the award last year, based on points in the world rankings. In her sophomore season at UO Romero won medalist honors at the Big Ten tournament and the Gold Canyon NCAA Regional.
In a press release Romero said, “It’s an incredible honor to win the McCormack Medal.
