Braylyn Bayer Stuns in Utah Amateur | Salt Lake City News

Braylyn Bayer stunned the field at the 120th Utah Women’s State Amateur, shooting a 1-under 71 to claim top spot in stroke play — outpacing BYU rivals and proving she’s no underdog. With her dad driving 12 hours to caddy for her, she’s got extra support — and motivation — as her boss gave her the week off from her internship, on the condition she keeps crushing it. The field is loaded with legends like Grace Summerhays, Arden Louchheim, and six-time champ Kelsey Chugg, plus 1994-95 winner Steph Belnap. Match play begins today with Bayer facing BYU’s Ava Schroeder — who barely made it through a playoff. This is going to be a wild ride as the young phenom takes on the game’s elite.
