BELOIT —All eyes were on Taytum Oswald of Beloit Monday as she tried to advance again in the Drive, Chip & Putt competition at the Beloit Club after finishing third in the nation in her 10-11 age group last April.
Turns out she only needed to show up because there were only two competitors in her 12-13 age group this time out. Both Taytum with a 91 score and Olivia Palma of Janesville (43) advanced.
Oswald was a sixth grader at Parkview Junior High last year when she advanced to the national finals at Augusta National Golf Club the week of The Masters.
