- 72, 68, 70. Overall 3rd out of a field of 100. This was a 3-day tournament in some serious heat! Out of 100 players from Wisconsin, pretty much every junior golfer… I placed 3rd behind two of my close friends who are members at the tournament site. I am very proud of not only shooting -4 but for beating many great players. For the 3 rounds, I made 15 birdies and 2 eagles with a low 9-hole score of 32.
