ATTICA—Pendleton Heights junior Zach Zoeller continued his recent hot streak with a victory Monday on the Indiana Golf Association’s Junior tour.
Zoeller defeated Zach Kinzer from Fishers on the second playoff hole to earn a victory at Harrison Hills after the pair had finished 36 holes deadlocked at 146 (+2).
The 2026 Madison County medalist, who had built on his strong showing at the IHSAA State finals last month with runner-up and fourth-place finishes in his last two outings, was tied with Jack Lantz from Fort Wayne after a one-under par 71 in the first round.
Kinzer was at even par after the first round.
Zoeller recorded four birdies in the first round and three more during an up-and-down second round. A clutch birdie on the par-three 17th hole drew him even with Kinzer, setting up the playoff.
After tying for 28th at the Boys State Junior Championship at Purdue University’s Ackerman-Allen Course last month, Zoeller placed second in the Age Group Championship at Swan Lake in Plymouth and fourth last week at the Northern Junior Masters, played at White Hawk Country Club in Crown Point.
The victory was his first of this summer after he topped the leaderboard four times in 2025. In five events so far, Zoeller has a scoring average of 74.9 with 21 total birdies and an eagle.
Also Monday, Frankton junior Isaac Fair tied for 25th after improving on his first round 82 with a 77 in the second round and Zoeller’s Pendleton Heights teammate Maxim Thompson tied for 41st place.
In the girls tournament, juniors Bella Shetterley of Lapel and Addison Goen from Anderson were 15th and 16th, respectively.
This week, Fair, Shetterley and Goen will be joined by Elwood’s Deacon Gregg for the junior tour at Muncie Elks Tuesday before Goen plays at Richmond Wednesday and Gavin Harris of Pendleton Heights, Owen Garber from Lapel, Fair, Gregg, Goen and Adelyn Swain from Anderson will compete at Anderson Country Club with play beginning at 8 a.m.
