Craig wins 122nd Women’s North and South Am Championship

PINEHURST, N.C. – WKU Women’s Golf junior Catie Craig claimed the 122nd Women’s North and South Amateur Championship Saturday afternoon.

The Georgia native had a stellar week of golf on the Pinehurst No. 2 course which just recently hosted the U.S. Open. Craig was near the top of the leaderboard for the entirety of the tournament, tying for third in both rounds of stroke play after posting a 143 during both days. The Lady Topper put in five birdies between the two days.

Craig then moved on to match play where she would be the three seed. The Georgia native would take down golfers from Florida State and The University of North Carolina on her way to the final four of match play.
In her final four matchup, she would defeat Vanderbilt’s Lynn Lim 2&1 on her way to the championship matchup. Here, Craig would face the number one seed, Macy Pate.

The Lady Topper would build a 3-up lead before putting in a putt on the 15th hole to claim the championship and win 4&3. Craig has added onto what has already been an impressive summer run for her as she was just recently named a CUSA Scholar Athlete of the Year.
