Rising senior Catie Craig of the Lady Topper Golf team concluded the second round of stroke play at the 124th U.S. Amateur in Tulsa on Tuesday afternoon.
Craig mirrored her first round performance, shooting a 5-over 76 in her final stroke play round. The Georgia native managed two birdies on her second and eighth holes and met par nine times during the round.
With a total score of 10-over 152, Craig ended her tournament tied for 77th, missing the cut for the round of 64 match play.
Despite the outcome, Craig had a highly productive summer representing Western Kentucky University (WKU) across the country. Alongside her sister Caroline, she reached the round of 16 match play in the U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball Tournament in May. In June, she tied for 23rd in the Sea Island Amateur Tournament.
Craig’s summer peaked at the end of June when she won the 122nd Women’s North and South Amateur Championship, a victory that automatically qualified her for the U.S. Amateur Tournament.
Returning to WKU this fall, Craig aims to carry her off-season momentum into the upcoming season with the Lady Toppers. She is looking forward to an outstanding senior season, building on her record-breaking junior year.
