2024 IGA Yearbook

115 Anna Jensen, of Dubuque, has been named the IGA Women’s Player of the Year. Jensen, who has cracked the top 10 the last two years’ finally got it done. She has not only showed success throughout Iowa, but has also made a name for herself competing at the collegiate level for the University of Northern Iowa. Jensen finished T5 in the 2024 Missouri Valley Conference Championship. Once her season wrapped up at UNI, Jensen kept it rolling into the summer tournaments. She started with the 14th IGAWomen’s Four-Ball Championship at Glen Oaks Country Club, where she finished T5th with a score of 142 (E) with partner Anna Nacos, a teammate at UNI. She then took on the 13th IGA Women’s Match Play Championship at Talons Golf in Ankeny. Jensen was hoping to become a two-time champion as she won in 2022. Seeded second after qualifying, Jensen would play lights out and come out victorious defeating Amber Henson 5&4 in the final match. Jensen was familiar with the host of the 100th Women’s Amateur - Sunnyside Golf & Country Club in Waterloo. Her 223 (+7) three round total would be good enough to finish 3rd for the championship. Before returning to UNI for her fifth-year, Jensen would participate in the 63rd IGA Women’s Club Team Championship at Indianola Country Club. Representing Thunder Hills Country Club, she would card a 69 (-1) to share medalist honors and lead Thunder Hills CC to a 6th place team finish. Anna Jensen has proved to Iowa golfers that she can compete and it showed during the 2024 season. 2024 women's player of the year Anna Jensen RESULTS IGA Women's Match Play 1st Iowa Women's Am 3rd U.S. Women's Am Qual IGA Women's Club Team T1 Missouri Valley T5 Confrence Champ IGA Four-Ball T5 STANDINGS 1 Anna Jensen 1287.5 2 Keeley Marx 1070 3 Paual Miranda 800 4 Fiona Watson 743 5 Leanne Smith 680
