Beyond her athletic success, Beck earned over $100,000 in prize money this year, marking one of the most lucrative seasons for an Israeli golfer.

Meanwhile, Israeli golfer Itay Cohen played a key role in San Jose State University's victory at the inaugural Jim DeLaHopa Tournament in Michigan. After a year-long recovery from injury, Cohen helped his team clinch the title with a remarkable score of 15-under par — five strokes ahead of Princeton.

A third-year student at San Jose State and graduate of IMG Academy, Cohen continues to represent Israel on the international stage, contributing significantly to his team’s triumph.
