A total of
127 golfers will converge on The Legends of Indiana Golf Course in Franklin as the 34th
Annual IHSAA Girls Golf State Finals begin Friday, Sept. 29. Second-round play
concludes the next day.
Twenty-one
teams advanced five golfers each while 22 individual golfers advanced without
their teams to the event. Participants will tee off the Middle 9 course and the
Road 9 course beginning at 8:30 a.m. EDT on Friday. Teams and individuals that
make the cut will return for a second day on Saturday, with the first group
again starting at 8:30. The first-round tee times and pairings are available here.
Fourteen
teams return from last year���?�s state finals, including five of the top six
finishers. Two-time defending state champ Penn did not qualify this year after
finishing fifth in the Penn Sectional. Evansville Memorial qualified its team
for the seventh consecutive year, the state���?�s longest active streak, while
Northview advanced for the fifth straight year. South Bend St. Joseph���?�s is the
only first-time qualifier in this year���?�s field.
Of the 21
teams competing this weekend, only Martinsville
(1991, 1992, 1993, 1995-2000), Noblesville (1986, 1987), and Hamilton
Southeastern (2003) have carried home the state championship trophy.
Eleven
players who finished in the Top 25 last year are back for another round,
including 2003 state champion Emily Johnson of Warsaw and 2005 state runner-up Ellen Mueller
of Evansville Memorial. Johnson, who won the title as a freshman with a
two-round card of 72-76-148, finished eighth as a sophomore and tied for ninth
last year as North Decatur���?�s Angela Gauck won
back-to-back crowns. Mueller, meanwhile, has been knocking on the door, having
finished in the top five each of her previous three trips to the state meet.
She finished fifth as a freshman and third as a sophomore.
Also in
the meet is sophomore Anne Ormson of South Bend St. Joseph���?�s, who finished
sixth overall a year ago when she helped Penn to the team title.
