State Golf Qualiifiers

From the coach -



VARSITY GOLF
Thursday at The Robert Trent Jones Golf Course at Cornell the best 45 golfers in Section IV teed it up to begin the process of determine the best 9 players who will qualify for the State Tournament on June 2-3. Players had to maintain a scoring average of 5 over par or better to qualify for Thursday’s first round.

Dryden had two players competing for the first time in over 15 years. Ryan Whitaker and Jonathan Becker both qualified for the second day of play, to be held Saturday morning at The RTJ.

Whitaker, a senior, is competing here for the third straight year and also made it to the second day last year. He is in tenth place with an 85 and very much in the thick of the competition.

Becker, a junior, is competing here for the first time. With most of the 21 players bunched within five shots of each other, a solid round for Saturday Becker might also earn him a coveted top 9 spot.

Trumansburg Freshman Dan Lapp, who finished fourth in the state last year, leads the field with a score of 77. Other IAC North golfers to qualify for the second day include Union Springs Senior Austin Thomas (82) and Marathon Junior Zach Brandstadt (87).
