coaster first round of 73, as she was five-over-par on the front nine and four-under par on the back nine. As for South, who finished third last year, she had four bogeys and three birdies in her 73. The high point of Headlee’s 73 was making five birdies. Unfortunately, those five birdies were offset by two bogeys and two double bogeys. While Brown was the individual winner, she did not have the low round of the second round. There were three girls who shot even-par 72s during the second round. They were Castle’s Kirkland; East Central sophomore Rowan Pies (81-72 – 153; 14th-place tie); and Batesville junior Addyson Weiler (82-72 – 154; 16th place). In addition to being the individual state champion, Brown was named as the recipient of the IHSAA’s Mental Attitude Award this year for Girl’s high school golf. At Westfield, Brown has a 3.9 GPA and is involved with National Honor Society, Student Council, Girls on the Run and the Susan Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Next fall, Brown will attend Purdue University to study Business Management, while playing golf for the Boilermakers. The recipient of this award, nominated by her principal and coach, must excel in mental attitude, scholarship, leadership, and athletic ability in golf. A $1,000 check is being donated by Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance, an IHSAA corporate sponsor, to Westfield High School’s general scholarship fund in Samantha Brown’s name.
