With three consecutive Canadian amateur titles from 2001 to 2003, a feat not accomplished by a Canadian woman since Marlene Stewart Streit in 1956, Score also honoured her as the Best Female Amateur Golfer in Canada for each of those three years.

 

Since 1999, she has represented the Canadian Ladies Golf Association (CLGA), which has included numerous U.S. junior tournaments, a training camp in Scotland, junior and amateur competitions in the U.K., as well as the World Amateur Team Championship in 2002 and the Americas Cup in 2003, where she won. Her career low score is 64.
