“It was great to watch Miles win today,’ said UCA head golf coach Steve Runge. “I’m really looking forward to him joining the Bears this fall.’

Smith, 18, closed out the championship match with a 20-foot birdie putt on the par-4 15th hole. Smith, the Class 7A champion as a senior, was seeded ninth in the match play aafter a 2-under 70 in Monday’s qualifying.
