Kayla Benge Claims Her First IWGA Amateur Victory By Santana Shipley The final day of the Indiana Women’s Golf Association’s (IWGA) Amateur Championship at Otter Creek Golf Club ended in a two-person standoff featuring five-time IWGA champion Julie Potter-Bobb and Kayla Benge. At the outset of the final round, Potter-Bobb was at six-under-par and held a three-shot lead over Benge. Things began to change in Benge’s favor when Potter-Bobb found trouble on the 8th and 9th holes. “I didn’t hit a good tee shot on eight and I misjudged the lie. I thought it was going to be a little thicker than it was, and the ball didn’t come out as far as I wanted and then I missed the putt,” said Potter-Bobb. “On nine, I missed it on the wrong part of the green and I went just a little bit long. That was my only three-putt the entire tournament, so it was bad timing but those were really my only hiccups of the day.” Indiana Golf Journal
