Hamilton County junior golfers made an impression on Etna Acres, as the Indiana Golf Association’s Junior and Prep tours made a stop there on Friday.
Etna Acres, located in Andrews, about 20 minutes east of Wabash, saw three county golfers get victories. Cole Starnes won the Boys 13-15 division with a five-under par 67, including seven birdies. Noblesville’s Jordan Adam made three birdies and an eagle at hole No. 10 on her way to a victory in the Girls 13-14 category.
Carmel’s Karis Reid won a playoff in order to claim the Girls 8-10 division title. Meanwhile, two more players made an eagle on the fourth hole during their respective rounds: Fishers’ Lane Zedrick (playing in Boys 13-15) and Carmel’s Benjamin Meece (playing in Boys 11-12).
On Thursday, three county twosomes played in the Boys Team Championship at Hillview Country Club in Franklin.
Carmel’s Owen Sander and Will Paddock finished seventh in the Boys 16-19 division with a two-under par 70, making five birdies along the way. Westfield’s Ryan Wilkes and Colin Nixon tied for ninth with a one-under 71, including two birdies. Carmel’s Kent Fujita and Saahas Kandru placed third in the Boys 13-15 division, with two birdies.
