2023 IGA Yearbook

113 A stellar year for Chloe Bolte propelled her to her Iowa Golf Association Junior Girls’ Player of the Year honor. Bolte, of Sumner, now a high school junior at Sumner-Fredericksburg, was a constant among tournament leaderboards. Bolte earned a staggering ten top-five finishes over the summer, beginning with her high school state tournament. She won her second of back-to-back IGHSAU 2A State Tournaments by a whopping ten strokes. She placed fifth at the Principal Charity Classic Junior Open, T3 at the John Deere Classic Junior Open, and then fifth at the 13th IGA Women’s Four-Ball Championship with partner Mckenna Stackis. Chloe then carded a 5th place finish at the Iowa Girls Junior PGA Champi- onship and then 3rd at the Iowa Girls' Junior Amateur. She followed that by tying for the low score at the Galesburg Junior Open, placing runner-up after the tiebreaker. She then took her game up a level by competing at the 99th Iowa Women’s Amateur Championship at Finkbine Golf Course in Iowa City. She more than held her own, placing 15th among many of Iowa’s best amateurs. Bolte totaled (-5) 139 at the Iowa PGA Junior Tour Midsummer Classic, win- ning the two-day tournament at Briarwood Golf Club and Otter Creek Golf Course. She then placed second at the Iowa Junior Open, and then capped off her summer by winning the Iowa PGA Junior Tour Fall Classic. It is also worth mentioning that she represented Iowa at the 55th Girls’ Four- State tournament against Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska, winning Iowa’s lone singles point. Bolte has her junior season of high school golf to look forward to as she seeks a third-straight individual state tournament title. 2023 girls' player of the year Chloe Bolte RESULTS 2A State Tournament 1st PCC Junior Open 5th JDC Junior Open T3rd IGA Women’s Four-Ball 5th Iowa Girls’ Jr PGA 5th Iowa Girls’ Junior Am 3rd Galesburg Junior Open 2nd Iowa Women’s Am 15th Mid-Summer Classic 1st Iowa Junior Open 2nd IPGA Jr Tour Fall Classic 1st STANDINGS 1 Chloe Bolte 2650 2 Morgan Rupp 2256.5 3 Maura Peters 1802.5 4 Lauren Briggs 1786.5 5 Ainsley Wilson 1465
