The Waynesville Tiger golf team hosted a triangular match between Jefferson City, Rolla and Waynesville. The weather was ideal today with low winds and warmer temperatures. The teams competed at the Piney Valley Golf Course on Fort Leonard Wood. Rolla won the team match with a score of 171, Jeff City 173, and the Tigers came in with a 215 score. Rolla also won the JV match with a 196, Jeff City 218, and Waynesville 259. Brett Trowbridge was the medalist with a 2 over par 38, but the shot of the night came from Rolla's Jeriah Jordan as he hit his second shot of the night on the par 4 7th hole into the cup for an eagle 2 from 150 yards.

Waynesville was led by Freshman Ben Whitten with a 48, Ben Pollman 53, Max Reyes 56, Aaron Choi 58 and AJ Cabanes 58 rounded out the Tiger scoring. For the JV Ahmed Amjed 62, Cody Caple 65, Ben Bibb, Archer Hedgepath, and Zach Medina all had 66's.

We improved 5 strokes from last years score of 220, so we are heading in the right direction. The players are starting to hit the ball solid from tee to green, so the short game is going to be a huge key in dropping out individual and team scores. After our second match, all the players have a really good idea of what areas of their game they need to focus on to improve at their next match. I am pleased with their progress and continued great attitudes towards getting better.

The Tigers next play at the Union Invitational on Monday, March 26th.
