Columbus’ Tobi Herron fired back-to-back 1-over-par 73s at
the IWGA Mid Amateur Championship held at Hillview CC, which was enough for a
five shot victory over Noblesville’s Lisa Cook.
“I had some good up-and-downs the last couple of days which
saved me a lot,” Herron said. “I also
hit a lot of good approach shots and although I didn’t putt as well as I had
hoped I am happy with my play overall.”
Herron’s round consisted of one birdie coming on the par 4,
5th hole and only two bogeys coming on the par 3, 10th hole
and the par 4, 11th.
Herron joins Nancy Fitzgerald and Julie Carmichael in
winning this event three times.
“I think it’s a really special achievement to win three
times,” Herron said. “When I think of
Indiana Golf I think of Nancy and Julie.
To be considered in their company is pretty special for me.”
Kristi Piepenbrink Trotter finished in third with a two day
total of 8-over-par 152.
