“I’m very proud of how our boys played throughout the season and throughout the Section Tournament,” said Underwood Head Coach Chuck Ross.  “A second place finish in the Section Tournament is the best in Underwood golf history.  Congratulations to Trevor Swonger, Hudson Risbrudt, Landon Ecker, Jaxon Swonger, Griffen Gunderson and Tyler Herr for accomplishing that.”

Underwood senior Trevor Swonger claimed medalist honors with a 163 and Tanner Doeden of Park Christian was second with a 166.  Hudson Risbrudt (176) of the Rockets also qualified for state with his third place finish.  Andrew Ysteboe and Colin Kerrins of Park Christian, Dawson Wienbar of Breckenridge and Owen Longnecker of Ortonville all qualified with scores of 179.  Dru Boots of Ortonville also qualified with a 182.

“Trevor won his second Section championship in a row under tough conditions,” noted Coach Ross.  “The wind was a major factor and after being down 4 strokes with 8 holes to go he buckled down and found a way to win by 3 strokes.  Hudson, who is only a freshman, ws in seventh after the first day and he played one of his best rounds of the season today, shooting an 85 to place third overall.  That was quite an accomplishment.”
