(November 21, 2024) – With her amateur career winding down Maisie Filler returned to her roots. One of the top amateurs in the world Filler lived in Bloomfield until she was 16 years old when she moved to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida to continue pursuing her golf career.
In Florida, her golf continued to flourish and out of high school, she committed to the University of Florida. At Florida Filler thrived earning All-SEC and All-American honors, and during her senior year she won three individual titles. Filler also competed in two Augusta Women’s National Amateurs and in 2024 she tied for eighth.
