Annie Mayer of Fergus Falls, competing in her fifth straight state tournament, came in with an 87 and is tied for 35th place, while senior Bella Snobl of Barnesville is tied for 65th after shooting a 94.
"Annie struggled a bit in the first 5 or 6 holes, but then played an amazing middle portion of her round from holes 7 thru 15, playing those hole at one-over par," noted Fergus Falls head coach Ben Jurgens. "The last few holes were a bit of a struggle coming in. Annie is the ultimate competitor. She has a great mindset for the game of golf and never quits, and that showed in the middle 9 holes of her round."
