Colin Proctor broke through for his first Indiana Golf Foundation age group championship in spectacular fashion Friday. Proctor completed the second day of competition on the Indiana National Golf Club’s Silver course as the only player out of 37 in his Boys 14 age group under par. Back-to-back rounds of 1-under 71 left Proctor at 2-under for the event and five shots in front of his nearest opponent, Oliver Gibson of Fort Wayne.

“This is one of my favorite tournaments,” said Proctor, who had finished second twice and third once in three previous trips to the age group championships, by phone after returning home from the event.

He said the course played to his strengths this week.

“The front was pretty tight and narrow, but the back was pretty open,” Proctor said. “The greens weren’t too fast. They were smooth.”

He played from the same tees he had last year as a 13-year-old. But the results were far different.

A combination of technique and naturally added strength has added yards to his game, and that extra distance came in handy against the state’s best.

“This year, I hit it pretty good,” he said.

Proctor wasn’t the only Anderson player to bring home an age group crown.

Rachel Johnson made up a two-shot deficit Friday to tie Emily Lewellen of West Lafayette for the title in the Girls 12 division.

Anderson’s Morgan Nadaline finished eight shots behind Harley Dubsky of Valparaiso to finish second in the Girls 13 division, and Anderson’s Kennedy Windlan tied for third in the Girls 15 division — three shots back of winner Anna Gleixner.

Anderson’s Natalia Campbell finished third in the Girls 10 division.
