Independence Girls Golf Uses Depth to Defeat Hawken

Independence girls golf placed five players among the top six to defeat Hawken, 193-250, despite Gabby Fisher’s medalist round of 41.

The Independence Girls Golf team put its depth on display as the Blue Devils placed five players among the top six and defeated Hawken Girls Golf.

Gabby Fisher provided the highlight for Hawken by shooting a match-low 41 to earn medalist honors.

Independence countered with a balanced lineup led by Jamie Tresp, who finished one stroke behind Fisher with a 42.

“I was very pleased with my score today,” Tresp said. “I made pars and bogeys, which made me very happy compared to some of my other rounds. I also want to thank my coach for helping me fix the problems with my swing, but I know there is always room for improvement in my game.”

Tresp’s round was not entirely trouble-free. She found the water on the eighth hole but recovered well enough to keep the mistake from derailing her round.

“The only trouble I found myself in was on the eighth hole, where I hit the ball into the water,” Tresp said. “I was able to take a drop on the other side and still finish the hole with a good score.”

The Blue Devils continued to fill the leaderboard behind Tresp. Abbey Cottrell placed third with a 46, and Maddie Krogman finished fourth with a 50.

Marisa Mudra and Olivia Krysiak each shot a 55 to tie for fifth and complete another strong team performance for Independence.

Tresp credited the Blue Devils’ continued dual-match success to their familiarity with one another and the confidence they have developed as a group.

“As a team, we have been together for a long time,” Tresp said. “Being with the same girls for a few years really helps everyone work together on the course. Everyone has been more confident this year, which really helps us play our best.”

Behind Fisher, Sophie Donovan shot a 65 for Hawken, while Sophia Morton finished with a 66.

With the postseason approaching, Tresp believes she is nearing the form she will need but still sees areas of her game that require attention.

“I think I am very close to being ready for the postseason, but there are always things to work on,” Tresp said. “The main things I will practice are my approach shots and chipping.”
