WOMEN’S AMATEUR TOP 10
Maddie Szeryk moved up two places in the world rankings to within two spots of her career best after picking up her third career collegiate title at the Bruzzy Challenge. The Golf Canada National Team member opened with a tournament low round of 70 and never looked back, taking the wire-to-wire victory by four strokes. It was her sixth top-5 result this season and earned the Texas A&M senior SEC Golfer of the Week honours for the fourth time in her career. Szeryk is expected to get another boost in the rankings after winning her second straight event this past week. Those results won’t be factored into the weekly rankings until next week.
Fellow National Team member Naomi Ko jumped 24 spots after taking runner-up honours at the Bryan National Collegiate. It was the best finish of the season for the junior at NC State and the fifth top 10 of her career.
Vanessa Ha led the way among the Top 10, climbing 28 spots after finishing in a tie for 15th at the Wyoming Cowgirl Classic.
Biggest Move: Brooke Hill of Regina, Sask., climbed 296 spots in the world rankings after finishing in a tie for 24th at the Harvard Invitational.
