Westfield boys golf’s Jake Cesare was the individual runner-up at state last year and has finished in the top ten at state in each of the past three seasons.

Westfield has a team has been runner-up at state in each of the last three seasons.

This year, both Cesare and Westfield are looking to get to the top of the podium.

“I just want to grow my game,” Cesare said. “I just want to get to that next level, become a professional golfer. Not just that, I just want to become a better person in general. Just show the younger people that you can make it.”

The Cesare family is a big golf family too. Jake’s younger brother Ryan is on the Westfield team this season. Next season, Jake will join his brother Alec, playing for IU on the Hoosiers golf team.

The bond he’s built with his siblings over golf is something that he cherishes.

“It’s really special,” Jake Cesare said. “It’s really rate to have three guys who are competing at the top of the top game. Alec and Ryan, they both push me to be the best I can be. It’s just really cool.”

“Jake has obviously been in our lineup from day one arriving at Westfield, which is pretty unique,” Westfield boys golf coach Josh Bryant said. “We don’t have many four-year starters, just with kind of the depth we’ve had.”

Westfield has their next meet at the Ulen Invite on Saturday.
