Sisters Molly and Morgan Smith, who play out of Vesper Country Club in Westford, Mass., have built a reputation as some of the strongest competitors in the Bay State despite being only 14 and 15, respectively. At Franklin (Mass.) Country Club, they earned medalist honors by coming in ahead of 12 other teams in the Women’s Four-Ball qualifier.

“To go out there and qualify, it’s really incredible,” said Molly, a sophomore at Westford Academy. “But to be medalists is like, really cool.”

The Smiths carded a 3-under 68 to best the field by two strokes. Molly, a freshman at Westford Academy, carried the pair on the back nine, making birdie on the 16th and 17th and shooting par on 18 to close out their victory.

Their parents, Phil and Lynn Smith, were alongside to caddie. Phil Smith won the Massachusetts Mid-Amateur in 2007.

The Smith sisters aren’t the youngest qualifiers in the brief history of the U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball, which began in 2015, as several 11- and 12-years-olds have competed. However, if the Smiths won, they’d be the youngest champions in the history of the event.

“The goal is to make it through to match play,” Molly said. “I think we can do it.”

Faith Choi

Faith Choi isn’t likely to be replaced in U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball lore anytime soon, what with her name down alongside Aneka Seumanutafa’s for the record 12-under 60 they recorded in the opening round of last spring’s Four-Ball. The pair broke the championship record by four shots with that round.
