Golf

Jordan Invite

JORDAN – The Marshall boys golf team took fourth place at the Jordan Invite on Thursday morning, shooting a team score of 337. St. Peter took first with a team score of 304, followed by Blue Earth Area (323) and Detroit Lakes (326).

Spencer Ehlers led the way for the Tigers with an 80 while Landon Frost shot 84, Mason Plante had an 86 and Ethan VanHauwaert shot 87. Noah Puetz shot 89 and Tannyr Curry had a 101 to round out their scores.

Marshall coach Kari Ehlers said they’ve done a good job this season of 9-hole scoring but have struggled to put together multiple solid 18-hole scores.

“It was a tough day for us. The team has a decent 9-hole average this season but is struggling with putting together a string of successful 18-hole rounds. The Ridges is a great course in the fact that the players with good course management are going to succeed,” coach Ehlers said. “Our stats are very telling that the boys have some work to do before conference and sections. We will keep trying to hone in on the skills needed to be competitive.”

Marshall will compete in the Big South Conference Championships on Monday in Fairmont at 9 a.m. Frost said their biggest takeaway is being able to prove to themselves they can put a consistent team score and gain more confidence to start the postseason.

“Going into conference, we have to prove that we’re capable of getting low scores and put a strong 18 holes together and get the confidence we need going into sections,” Frost said.
