Frank Lindwall focused mostly on big tournaments
against strong fields this summer. High finishes in
those events propelled him to the IGA Junior Boys’
Player of the Year award.
Lindwall, 18 of Cedar Rapids, outdistanced Kaleb
Hagge by 50 points (747.5 to 697.5) to win the
award for the first time.
Lindwall, who is currently competing as a
freshman on the golf team at Iowa State, placed
4th at the 115th Iowa Amateur at Cedar Rapids
Country Club and had a top 5 showing at the
Midwest Junior Championship at Finkbine GC
in Iowa City. He added to his point total with a
tie for 6th at the Iowa High School Class 4A State
Tournament.
Britta Snyder showcased her talents across the
country in 2017.
In a summer that included many highlights, the
most notable was probably her runaway victory at
the 93rd Iowa Women’s Amateur Championship
at Hyperion Field Club. The 15-year old from
Ames became the second-youngest to ever win the
state’s biggest amateur competition, and did so by a
whopping 13 strokes.
In addition to her win at the Women’s Amateur, she
partnered with Sarah Beqaj of Canada to medal at
the U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball Qualifier held
in Minnesota. She added points from a win at the
AJGA Randy Wise Junior Open, AJGA Junior at
Lake Forest and finished in 3rd place at the AJGA
Lockton Kansas City Junior.
