The South O’Brien Girls Golf Team met Harris-Lake Park for a War Eagle Conference dual on May 4 at Primghar Golf & Country Club. Since HLP did not have a full team, South O’Brien took the win. The Wolverines shot a 221, which is four strokes above their average.
South O’Brien took home the top three medals. Senior Breana Bottjen was medalist with a 51. “Breana continues to show her competitive spirit coming out night after night consistently improving her game,” remarked Wolverine coach Kris Faust. Sophomores Samantha Wilbur and Whitney Einck tied for second with a 52. Wilbur took the second place medal after a handicap card playoff. “These two sophomores have really come on strong this year,” noted Faust. “It’s a good night when the top three medals go to girls who are first-year golfers. There is definitely some ‘friendly competition’ going on among my gals this year.”
