Jennifer Kupcho validated her big win earlier this year at the Chevron Championship and captured the Meijer Classic last month. Kupcho finished the 72-hole event at 18-under par and tied with Leona MacGuire and World No. 2 ranked, Nelly Korda.
In the playoff, Kupcho and Maguire advanced to a second playoff hole with birdies on the par-5. Kupcho then repeated with another birdie the second time through the 18th hole in the playoff and Maguire couldn’t match her.
Kupcho was a standout for Wake Forest in college. She won the NCAA Division I Championship, was the No. 1 Ranked Amateur for 34 weeks and won the inaugural Augusta National Women’s Amateur Championship. This win boosts her 2022 earnings over the $1 million mark, moves her to No. 9 on the Rolex Rankings and No. 3 on the Race to the CME Globe.
