University of Arkansas at Little Rock golfer Sabrina Bonanno has qualified for the 116th U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship at Rolling Green Golf Club in Springfield, Pennsylvania. The match play event will be held Aug. 1-7.

Bonanno, who was the medalist at the Illinois Women’s Amateur Championship in June, shot a 1-under 70 at the U.S. Women’s Amateur Qualifier at Sportsman’s Country Club in Norridge, Illinois, to earn one of seven available spots.

“I look forward to being around the best amateurs and doing the best that I can,” Bonanno said.

Bonanno is a two-time All-Sun Belt selection and was the 2015 Sun Belt Freshman of the Year. She has ranked in top 10 of the conference in score vs. par in each of her two seasons with the Trojans.

The U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship will be televised on Fox Sports 1 and streamed live on USGA.org.
