Evanston's Purple Sage Course provided a challenge for Riverton's golfers last Thursday and Friday. With its rolling hills and difficult greens most golfers struggled through the first day. PJ Thomas came through the first round with an 81 for 18 holes.
On the second day PJ Thomas heated up and shot his best round of the season with a 74, which was good for 5th place overall. Another impressive score came from Zack Waxler with a 78, his first round under 80. Chad Oleson also cut 11 strokes from his first day total. After their first round the Wolverine golfers were 12 strokes out of third, but with the second day improvement we closed the that round 4 out of third place.
For the first time this season the Wolverines had two lady golfers participate.
In the JV part of competition, Stephen Schierman finished with a 174 to claim the 1st place medal.
Ed Stewart from Jackson shot even par the second day to win the boys competition with a 145. Kelsey Podlesny came back the second day to win the girls side of the tournament.
