LUVERNE – The Marshall boys golf team competed at a conference meet in Luverne on Thursday.

Marshall finished second as a team with a score of 175, eight strokes behind Luverne.

Four Tigers finished in the Top 10, led by Luke Ehlers with a fourth-place round of 42. Marshall coach Kari Ehlers was impressed by how he battled back from a rough start.

“It would have been easy for him to get down on himself after an eight on his first hole, but he did a good job of grinding out some good pars during his round,” coach Ehlers said.

Jayden Manthei carded a 43 to tie for fifth, followed by junior Evan Franson and senior Grant Horvath with 45s.

Coach Ehlers said poor tee shots kept the Tigers from finishing in first place as a team.

“The course is designed with tight fairways lined by a lot of old trees,” she said. “Our team had a tough time keeping their drives in play off of the tee and spent way too much time punching out of trouble. When you do not hit the fairways, you aren’t hitting greens in regulation.”

Wabasso Invite

SANBORN – The Wabasso Rabbits hosted a golf quadrangular won by the Springfield boys with a team score of 189 on Thursday. Cedar Mountain finished second as a team at 197 followed by New Ulm Cathedral (210) and Wabasso (219).

Spencer Rohlik led Wabasso with a round of 53. Hayden Carlson and Ashton Thein added 55s, while Jayden Goblish recorded a 56.

None of the four schools fielded a complete team on the girls side. For the Rabbits, Jocelyn Jenniges carded a 63 to lead the way, while Chloe Rohlik finished with a 65.

Wabasso will travel to Winthrop Golf Club for a triangular on Monday.
