Keys golfers managed to get in nine holes between bouts of miserable weather on Sept. 3, and despite soggy greens, athletes managed some solid scores.
In girls action, Key West’s Lexi Finigan was the top golfer, shooting a birdie on hole seven for a total score of 49. In second place was Marathon’s Justice Lee, who was seven strokes behind Finigan. Lee celebrated her first-ever birdie at the match on hole two. Teammate Makenna Haines was next, followed by Key West’s Mary Alice Davila and Berkeley Tripp in fourth and fifth, then Valerie Gabriel and Melanie Estevez of Coral Shores in sixth and seventh.
The girls competed as individuals due to smaller rosters, but each of the schools had enough boys to compete as a team. Key West came in first, scoring a total of 229, with Marathon eight points away. Coral Shores was seven back from the Fins to finish third.
The low score of the day was on Mason Titensor’s card. Titensor’s score of 40 was just four over par and helped boost the Conchs to their team win. Two strokes behind was Coral Shores’ Scout Oliver, followed by Geo Twyman of Key West. Roco Piscetello was Marathon’s top finisher, coming in fourth overall, and Chad Stolka, Ty Hill and Canyon Miller, all Conchs, shored up the fifth through seventh spots. In eighth was Emmett Merryman of Marathon, followed by Colton Young of Coral Shores. Hurricane Dylan Lindmar tied with Dolphins Ethan Wohlers and Jackson Millard for 10th place.
