The Becker Bulldogs boys golf team had a busy week, competing in three golf meets, first in Albany, then Ramsey and lastly in Park Rapids. 

 

Monday saw the team competing at the Albany Golf Club in a Granite Ridge tournament against their rivals from Albany, Foley, Little Falls, Milaca, Mora, St. Cloud Cathedral and Zimmerman.

Playing well, the team finished third with a score of 337 and moved up to fourth in the conference. St. Cloud Cathedral kept hold of the number one standing with 821, followed by Albany with 829, Mora with 870 and Becker close behind with 874.

 

Albany won Monday’s tournament with a score of 319 with St. Cloud Cathedral coming in 10 points ahead of Becker with a final score of 327.

 

Sophomore Ethan Tobako led the Bulldogs with a final score of 82, followed closely by Gavin Murphy with 83 and Matthew Martindale with 85. Zach Stanz came in next with 87, then Austin Seavert with 90 and Tucker Rhodes with 91.

 

Tuesday the Bulldogs were on the road again, this time playing at The Links at Northfork in Ramsey in the Legacy Christian Academy Invite against Andover, Community Christian School, Edina, Heritage Christian Academy, Lakeville South, Legacy Christian Academy, Mayer Lutheran and Zimmerman.

 

Struggling with both the course and poor weather conditions, the team finished in eighth place with a score of 375. Andover placed first with 302, and Lakeville South and Edina tied for second with scores of 303.

 

Leading the Bulldogs in the meet was Ethan Tobako with a total score of 86. Matthew Martindale and Zach Stanz tied for the second lowest score with 92 points, followed by Gavin Murphy with 105. Zach Stanger with 115 and Brock Ramola with 127 rounded out the team.

 

Thursday the Bulldogs traveled to Park Rapids to compete at the 8AAA pre-section tournament at Headwaters Golf Course against their opponents from Alexandria, Bemidji, Brainerd, Buffalo, Monticello, Moorhead, St. Cloud Tech, Sartell-St. Stephen, Sauk Rapids-Rice and Willmar.

 

The cold weather and rain falling off and on throughout the majority of the round again prevented the team from playing their best, and they finished the tournament in ninth place with 360. Brainerd and Alexandria tied for first place with team totals of 308 each, Buffalo came in third with 311. 

 

Leading the Bulldogs was senior Austin Seavert with a low score of 84. Tucker Rhodes followed closely behind him with 86. Next was Ethan Tobako with 92, Matthew Martindale with 98 and Gavin Murphy with 104.

 

Next up for the Becker Boys Golf team is the Annandale Invite at Southbrook on Monday and the St. Cloud Country Club Invite on Thursday.
