Bellevue's Kayla Barnes completed an incredible Final Round comeback to win the 4th Nebraska Women's Mid-Amateur Championship at The Pines Country Club in Valley on Sunday. Barnes started the day five strokes back of Elkhorn's Megan Whittaker, but caught fire and shot a championship record 67 (-5). The round gave Barnes a one-stroke victory with a 141 (-3) total, also a record. It's back-to-back titles for Barnes, who won her fifth NebGolf title, moving her into a tie for ninth on the all-time list.
