2022 CHAMPIONSHIP

Schultz

Titles

The 13th New York State Women’s Mid-Amateur ended with a familiar face taking home the title. Christy Schultz pulled away from Lauren Cupp, of Yahnundasis Golf Club, in the final round to win her fourth Women’s Mid-Amateur championship.

Schultz, of Oak Hill Country Club, and Cupp were neck-and-neck going into the final round, but a one-under 71 second round propelled her to victory. She totaled one-over 145 for the tournament.

“Once I got through 15 … I felt a little more comfortable coming down the stretch,” Schultz said. “I played the last three holes better than yesterday because I knew what club to hit.”

This title brings Schultz’s total to nine (1996 and 1997 Girls’ Junior; 2004, 2007 and 2008 Women’s Amateur; 2009, 2010, 2021 and 2022 Women’s Mid-Amateur). She said that competing for state titles has always been a part of her life.

“I feel like the New York State Golf Association is so much a part of my life,” she said. “I won my first tournament when my dad was really sick, and he passed away shortly thereafter.
