Nebraska's Kate Smith captured a major award in her home state this week when the Minnesota Golf Association named her its 2020 Women's Co-Player of the Year.
Smith, a fifth-year senior from Detroit Lakes, Minn., put together an outstanding summer by claiming the 2020 MGA Women's Amateur Championship at the Stillwater Country Club in July. She capped the summer by finishing in the top 16 in the stroke play portion of the 120th U.S. Women's Amateur Championship in Rockville, Md., before adding a top 32 finish in the match play rounds of the U.S. Women's Amateur.
