Light rain fell on the course for part of the final round of the Class 3A girls golf state tournament. Playing in subpar weather conditions is nothing new for golfers, and not ideal. Right?

“I kind of like playing in the rain,” said Ava Hanneman, a senior from Orono who shot a two-round total of 142 to win the Class 3A girls golf individual state title at Bunker Hills Golf Club in Coon Rapids on June 11. “It’s just kind of peaceful. Kind of strange, but I don’t mind it, for sure.”

Helpful drizzle or not, top-ranked Hanneman finished her high school career on top. She’s the 2025 All-Minnesota Player of the Year in girls golf.
