As an amateur, the native of Westminster, Colo. dominated in her home state, winning three Colorado Women's Golf Association (CWGA) titles, including one by 13 shots. She became first player in state history to be named both the CWGA Player of the Year and Junior Player of the Year in the same season.

Kupcho went five under on her final six holes to outduel Maria Fassi and become the first woman to ever win at Augusta National.
