NORMAL, Ill. - Fighting Illini freshman-to-be Michelle Mayer sank five birdies and shot a 6-over-par 148 to capture the Illinois State Classic title, July 18-19, at the Weibring Golf Club in Normal, Ill. The future Illini shot a consistent 74 in both days of action, securing a six-stroke lead over second-place finisher Hannah Lewis (154).
The tournament marked Mayer's fifth Mid-American Junior Golf Tour (MAJGT) victory in the past three years and her first since 2009. The win was also her second top-two finish this month, as the Flossmoor, Ill., native took second in the University of Illinois Classic on July 7. The Illini newcomer is currently tied for 25th with 190 points in the MAJGT All-Midwest Team standings.
