The South O’Brien golf girls finished their dual meet season at Willow Creek in Le Mars on May 13. It was a makeup match that was postponed earlier in the season due to weather. Scores from the black course were used from the War Eagle Conference Tournament. The Wolverines shot a 200 and won the match since HMS had only one golfer.
Earning top honors was Gracie Knobloch from HMS with a 43. Junior Lindsey Einck and freshman Cassidy Horstmann tied for runner-up honors with 47s. After a handicap hole card playoff, Lindsey took 2nd and Cassidy took 3rd. The 4th place medal went to freshman Anna Griebel, who shot a 52. The Wolverines were 7-2 in WEC duals this season. “The girls had a remarkable regular season,” commented South O’Brien coach Kris Faust. “They have learned so much and gained valuable experience. It is amazing that just a couple of months ago, some of them had never played a full round of golf. I am excited to see how they manage the competition in post-season play.”
