Kate Smith captured Big Ten Women’s Golfer-of-the-Week honors when she claimed the award on Wednesday, Feb. 3.
Smith, a fifth-year senior from Detroit Lakes, Minn., earned the recognition following her tie for third at the Trinity Forest Invitational in Dallas on Tuesday. Smith closed the 14-team tournament with a four-under-par 68, charging 15 spots up the individual leaderboard in the final round. Smith’s third-round performance included five birdies and an eagle on the par-72, 6,258-yard layout of the Trinity Forest Golf Club.
The only golfers who finished in front of Smith in the talent-laden field were Hannah Karg of Baylor, which entered the tournament as the No. 1 team in the nation, and Oklahoma State’s Maja Stark, who has been ranked as high as the No. 8 player in the Women’s Amateur Golf Rankings.
