May 19, 2023State golf roundup: Gregory pulls away for second consecutive Class B boys golf title
Jul 11, 2023WATERTOWN — The Gregory High School boys golf team found another gear on Tuesday at the Class B state golf meet.
A year after winning a shortened 18-hole state championship marred by weather, the Gorillas left no doubt about their title prowess on Tuesday, cruising to win by 29 strokes over second-place Hanson at Prairie Winds Golf Course. In doing so, Gregory becomes the first Class B boys golf squad to repeat as state champions since Aberdeen Christian in 2016 and 2017.
Gregory shot 231 on the day with their three scoring golfers for a two-day score of 474. Hanson was second with 503 strokes, Sully Buttes was third at 507, and Ethan, which was tied for the 18-hole team lead after shooting 243 on Monday, finished fourth with a total team score of 508.
In the individual competition, Gregory's Eli Fogel shot the round of the day with a 1-over-par 73 to claim the state championship by one stroke over Wyatt Larson, of McIntosh. Fogel shot 78 on Monday but was in control for much of the day on Tuesday, shooting even-par on the front nine and had a birdie at the 10th hole to counteract a pair of bogeys at the 13th and 14th holes. He scored par on his final four holes of the day to stave off Larson.
Sully Buttes’ Gavin Colson shot a two-day 153, including 74 on Tuesday to get in the mix for the top individual honors, finishing two shots back of Fogel. Wessington Springs’ Blake Larson shot 80 both days to finish alone in fourth with a score of 160. Gregory's Trey Murray (85-76) and Hanson's Ben Wilber (82-79) each shot 161 to tie for fifth place. The Gorillas’ Kade Stukel (80-82) finished in the ninth place grouping with a score of 162.
