Other scores for the Knights were Brett Amundson with a 95, Sam Hanson 102, and Blake Flint 119.

The WCA boys placed 4th on Tuesday, April 26th where 9 holes were played at Meadowlark Country Club and 9 holes at Greystone in Sauk Centre.

Team scores were Minnewaska 335, Morris 341, Benson 346, WCA 356, Montevideo 391, BOLD 399, Melrose 404, and Sauk Centre 411. 

Marshall Dewey of WCA took 4th overall out of 48 golfers with an 85 and WCA’s Peyton Hanson was close to a medal coming in 9th with an 87.  Other WCA scores were Mitch Dewey 90, Sam Hanson 94, Brett Amundson 105, and Blake Flint 114.

Knights Coach Kraig Hunter said, “Marshall played steady all day with pars and bogeys, no big holes.  Peyton’s game is coming around. Also, first year golfer Brett Amundson has looked good in practice and after a tough nine at Greystone, he shot a 47 at Melrose. We think he will keep improving.”
