The summer has been especially sweet for 16-year-old Benton High rising senior Abigail McWilliams, who won the 96th Louisiana Golf Association Women’s Amateur Championship at Lake Charles Country Club.

The competition was fierce, with the tournament featuring a match-play format following an 18-hole qualifying round, but McWilliams showcased her considerable skills and secured the championship title in style.

This win comes on the heels of another impressive achievement. In May, she and her teammate Grace Goodwin clinched the Division I State Championship for Benton. Talk about commanding the greens!

Congratulations to McWilliams for her outstanding accomplishments and becoming a name known statewide on the the golfing circuit.
