Earlier this season, Maize’s Kinslea Jones shot an historic 13-under 58 at the Buhler Invitational, which took place at Hesston Golf Course.
The previous KSHSAA record was 64, so Jones shattered the record. She is on her way to being one of the best female high school golfers in KSHSAA history. That was the culmination of a scorching hot month of
September for Jones.
“This year I have had three rounds so far,” Jones said. “At the Eisenhower Varsity Invitational at Auburn Hills I shot 66 and won by 19. Our team won by 50 shots. At the Dodge City Girls Invitational at Mariah Hills I shot a 68 and won by six. Our team placed second. At the Salina South Invitational I shot a 68 and won by five. Our team won by 12 shots. So far this season my average is a 67.33.”
Jones tried to balance between being the best high school player she can be, while also building her game towards college.
“One goal I have for the season was to be under par at every tournament but also to improve my game for the long run so I can be successful in college, too,” Jones said. “A team goal I have for us is to qualify for the state tournament for the fourth year.”
