BLOOMINGTON – Indiana Women's Golf alumna Shannon Johnson has advanced to the final of the U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur competition at The Kahkwa Club in Erie, Pa.
Johnson, who graduated from IU in 2006, is competing in her third U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur and ninth USGA individual championship. She advanced to Thursday's final by defeating Olivia Herrick 1-up.
She competed in the 2016 U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur as well, where she advanced to the quarterfinals. In her pro career, she has won 12 South Dakota Golf Association titles including the 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 Women's Amateur Championships.
