Seeded third after qualifying, Huser made the finals and just fell short to Leanne Smith 2&1, to finish runner- up. That was just the beginning for her as she would tee it up in the 100th Iowa Women’s Amateur at Sunnyside Country Club, inWaterloo, finishing T2 in the Open Division carding a three day score of 256 (+30). Huser would keep the momentum going at the 59th Iowa Senior Women’s Amateur Championship at Stone Creek Golf Club, Williamsburg. She would record a 36-hole score of 150 (+8) and finish 3rd overall. Excited for an additional event, Huser didn’t waste the opportunity at the 1st IGA Senior Women’s Match Play Championship, hosted by Whispering Creek Golf Club, Sioux City, where she walked home with the win. Seeded second after qualifying, Huser took down Nicki Miller 3&2 in the final match. While at the IGA Senior Women’s Match Play, Huser found out she was in the field for the U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur as an alternate to be contested at Broadmoor GC, in Seattle, Washington. Although she missed the cut it was the icing on the cake to a great season for Huser. Huser without a doubt will be a force to be reckoned with come the 2025 season.
