Noblesville’s Meghan Potee began the week with an opening round 69 at Otter Creek Golf Club at the IWGA Women’s State Amateur Championship. Over the course of three days, Potee never wavered from the top of the leader board.  Posting a 1-over par 73 on day two and a 1-under par 71 int eh final round, Potee amassed an impressive three-day total of 213 and a seven shot victory over Newburgh’s Kayla Katterhenry.

“I think the first day was one of my best rounds in a while,” said Potee. “I hit my drives in the fairway and made more birdies than the other two rounds. Today I hit my driver really solid as well and only missed two greens” she added.

Potee, a junior at the University of Kansas, has now won four events in the state, including the IHSAA Girls High School State Championship, Women’s State Open, and the IWGA Match Play Championship.

“It’s a pretty cool thing and I’m really excited about it,” she said. “I’m going to come back next year and try to win one of these tournaments for the second time. I’m pretty proud of my play this week.”

Potee has had an impressive summer, with two IWGA wins, and just recently qualified for the US Amateur Championship, which will be held in Cleveland in August.

“This win gave me a little bit of confidence,” she said. “Some of the other girls here are also playing in the US Am, so to win by seven feels really good.”
