Athlete Spotlight-Linton

The Hillers’ No. 1 golfer, Linton won 52% of her points in match play — despite facing the opposition’s best player — and was a two-time medalist, with a low score of 41. “She has a very natural swing and complete game and has only been playing golf for a few years,” coach Bill Phaneuf stated. “I believe with a little work, her game is going to be at the elite level in the [state] over the next few years. I am super excited to see where she can go and excited for the Hillers program as we head to 2026 and beyond.”

Move In Style, sponsored by Custom Home Realty’s Laura Wauters, is a weekly Hopkinton Independent feature. Each week during the school year, we will highlight a different Hopkinton High School athlete, selected after consultation with HHS coaches.
