Kaitlyn Papp, a senior at the University of Texas, finished tied for ninth and earned low amateur honors at the 75th U.S. Women’s Open at the Champions Golf Club in Houston.
Papp, an Austin native, fired a 3-over 74 in Monday’s final round to complete her week at 3 over par, six shots behind the winner A Lim Kim of Korea. Prior to Monday, she posted scores of 71, 68 and 74 over the first three days of the tournament. With a birdie on the 72nd hole, Papp finished two shots clear of Australia’s Gabriela Ruffels and Sweden’s Maja Stark for low amateur honors.

Like every other part of 2020, Kaitlyn Papp’s preparation for the U.S. Women’s Open included something non-traditional: a graduation ceremony. Not surprisingly, she didn’t walk. Instead, the Texan pulled up a Zoom link and watched the ceremony from home. She already received a cap and gown from the university and everything.
Papp finished off her degree in physical culture and sports from the University of Texas in three and a half years, a notable feat for the two-time First-Team All-American who owns two individual titles as a Longhorn.
