Ina Kim-Schaad, 42, of Jupiter, Fla., the 2019 champion, earned her place back in the final match of the U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur, defeating co-medalist Katherine Zhu, 25, of San Jose, Calif., 3 and 2 on Wednesday afternoon at Monterey Peninsula Country Club. She will face Henley Long, 27, of Clarksville, Tenn., in Thursday's 18-hole final.
“Pinch me,” said Kim-Schaad. “I mean, this was obviously my goal coming in for sure. I've worked ready hard this year to try and get here. But, yeah, it's still pretty unbelievable. I'm super excited and grateful that I get to play this course one more time. I'm excited.”
