After defeating first round medalist Julia Potter in 23
holes at the IWGA Match Play Championship at Heartland Crossing Golf Links,
Defending Champion Brooke Beegle of Fishers defeated Evansville’s Chanice Young
7 & 5 this afternoon.
“My putter was probably my best thing today,” Beegle said. “Sometimes staying consistent with my game
can be a struggle for me, so I hope to continue to do that tomorrow. Winning two years in a row would mean a lot
to me. Match play is definitely my favorite
format.”
Seymour’s Paxton DeHaven her match in the round of 8 this morning against
soon-to-be teammate Zoey Freese of Indianapolis. DeHaven defeated Freese 4 & 2 to advance
to the final four this afternoon. DeHaven again won by a large margin in
her second match of the day against Plainfield’s Breanna Patz, defeating her 5
& 4.
“I just played really smart today,” DeHaven said. “My driver never really got me in trouble and
I played for the center of the greens.
If I made a putt, great, if not I took par and moved on. I hope to continue to hit fairways and greens
tomorrow and play smart.
Beegle and DeHaven will face one another in the finals tomorrow
morning at 7 a.m.
