POINTS
" First and foremost, I would
like to thank the MGA for doing
everything possible to host
tournaments this past summer. As
a Division 1 collegiate golfer I am
fortunate to have the opportunity to
play some of the best courses in the
country, all of which are in pristine condition.
I am always equally impressed
by the MGA and their consistency to
provide fantastic course venues for us
to compete. Winning the 2020 MGA
Player of the Year in my home state
is an achievement I will always be
grateful for and something I'll be able
to look back on and cherish. "
