Cyclone Wins Amateur in Hawkeye Territory!
Iowa State golfer, Kristin Paulson, originally from Ottumwa, dominated Finkbine Golf Course in her final round, firing a 2-under 70 to break away from the pack and claim her Iowa Women's Amateur Title. Paulson recorded eight birdies in her 54 holes and finished with a overall total of 217, four strokes above runner-up Beth Wagner of Ankeny. Paulson did not let those colors black and gold keep her from owning up to her title of the 2010 Iowa Women's Amateur Champion. Beth Wagner, a soon-to-be high school senior, held her own among many collegiate players and past champions by firing a one-under 71 in the first round. Wagner stayed consistent throughout the next two days, shooting two rounds of 75. Finishing the tournament at 6-over-par was Rachel Hanigan, a South Dakota State senior from Dunlap. Iowa State golfers seemed to dominate the leader board during this year's championship, with Katelynn Hogenson, originally from Muscatine, coming in with a 4th place finish. Hogenson finished the tournament with a three round total of 8-over-par. Last year's defending champion, Jenny Graeser of Cedar Falls, made her way into the top 5 by shooting an even-par 72 in the final round of competition. Kim Fensterman, of Cedar Falls, claimed the Open Division Champion title by shooting rounds of 81-79-75, just 5 strokes ahead of the Open Division runner-up, Jill Blackwood.

Ottumwa
Country Club received well over 10 inches of rain within the month of June
so the conditions of the course were extremely wet, which caused it to play
longer than normal. Rose Kubesheski and Carroll Dethrow both shot
respectable 80's for round one. Rose Kubesheski, Dubuque shot
another 80 today to claim the Senior Women's Amateur by one stroke.
Rose's 80 yesterday had her tied for the lead with Carroll Dethrow of Nevada
who shot a final round score of 81 to fall to second behind Rose, but took
the Super Senior title. Third place in the Championship was Kathy
Fortune, Rockwell City with an 84 - 83, two day
