Umezu is a senior student-athlete from Waimea, Hawaii, who played her high school golf at Club Med Academies in Port St. Lucie, Florida. She was a medalist on the Florida Junior Tour and South Florida PGA Junior Tour in 2021 and a runner-up at the Florida State Girls Junior Amateur in 2019 when in high school. After concluding her high school career, she then attended the University of Hawaii, where she was an All-Big West selection and ranked second on her team as a sophomore. She transferred to UNLV as a junior and found success in the Mountain West Conference, leading up to this award in her final regular season week with the program.

She shot a 1-under 215 for the tournament and with back-to-back par-or-better rounds after a second-round even-par 72 and final-round 2-under 70.
