WOMEN’S AMATEUR TOP 10
Top ranked Maddie Szeryk gained three places in the world rankings after finishing runner-up at the Maryb S. Kauth Invitational.

Since September 3, Szeryk is a combined 23 shots below par over the span of 10 rounds. The result moved her up to No. 28 in the world and she is likely to improve upon that ranking following her results at the final fall tournament, which should be factored into next week’s rankings.
