Bowie
The Bowie golf team’s competed at their home tournament at Twisted Oaks this week.
The boy’s team ended up finishing first overall while the girl’s team finished third place.
The Jackrabbits swept the first three places individually. Zac Harris shot a 68 to finish in first place. Cy Egenbacher was right behind him shooting 69 to finish second.
Andrew Sandhoff finished tied for third with Rayder Mann as both shot 73. Mann was not playing as a part of the Bowie team but individually, so his total did not count towards the team total. Still, he won the playoff to earn the third place medal.
Hunter Fluitt shot an 80 and Hunter Lea shot an 84 to round out the team’s scoring as Bowie shot 290 overall. Case Curry also competed individually and shot 101.
