MANHATTAN, Kan. – A day after being named to the All-Big 12 Team, Kansas State senior Sophie Bert capped her honors from the league as she was named the Big 12 Women’s Golfer of the Month for May, the conference office announced Thursday.
It is Bert’s first Big 12 Golfer of the Month honor and the second in as many years for the Wildcats as Carla Bernat picked up the accolade last March. K-State has now had six Big 12 Golfers of the Month in program history, while it is the first time ever the Wildcats had an honor in consecutive years.
Bert’s monthly award comes after she became the first player in program history to win an individual conference championship as she turned in a 54-hole score of 2-under par 211 to capture the 2025 Big 12 Championship individual title. She was the only player to finish under par, while her score of 211 was the best three-round total in K-State’s conference championship history.
A native of Deurle, Belgium, Bert began the final round in a tie for 14th place and five shots back of the lead, but she rose to the top spot thanks to a performance of 5-under par 66 over the final 18 holes. It was the best round ever by a Wildcat in the conference championship and tied for the sixth-lowest round overall.
Bert holds a 72.75 scoring average this season – which currently ranks third in school history – while she has produced seven top-10 finishes in her 11 starts with a pair of top-five showings.
Bert and the Wildcats compete in the 2025 NCAA Lexington Regional, next Monday through Wednesday, at Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Kentucky.
