Here are five girls golfers to watch this season in The Herald-News coverage area.

Taylor Busch, Lincoln-Way Central, jr.

Bush qualified for the Class 2A state tournament in her freshman and sophomore years for the Knights . She placed 51st at state last year, shooting rounds of 81 and 83. “Taylor has had a very good summer, and I know she is a better player now,” coach Bob Curran said. “Taylor is very competitive and confident, which is a great combination.”

Taylor Miller, Plainfield East, so.

Miller advanced to the state tournament last year as a freshman, finishing 29th with rounds of 78 and 80. She also helped the Bengals win the Joliet Township Invitational by shooting a 68 and she was selected as the 2024 Herald-News Girls Golfer of the Year.
