Motivation, Momentum Driving UNC Women's Golfer Kayla Smith

Posted Jun 12, 2022
Motivation and momentum have been keys to Kayla Smith’s success this past season. And that momentum carried forward this week when the rising senior from UNC teed it up in the Carolina Golf Classic. Smith finished in the top 20 in six of eight collegiate events and ended the season with a stroke average of 73.13 - the second lowest in UNC history. (Epson Tour)
