CROOKSTON PIRATE BOYS GOLF FINISHES 2ND AT CROOKSTON INVITE

The Crookston Pirate Boys golf team is hosting the Crookston Invitational at Minakwa Golf Course in Crookston. Crookston finished second out of four teams with a 329, the best score of the year for the Pirates. Roseau won the meet with ease as they shot a 285 and were led by the medalist Max Wilson with a seven under-par 63.

GARRETT FISCHER-
Freshman Garrett Fischer once again led the way for the Pirates. The highlight of the round for Fischer was his two birdies. The first one was at the Par five 496-yard eighth hole, and the second was to end his round on the 454-yard Par four ninth hole. Fischer shot 39 the first time through the course and improved by three strokes the second time for a 36 and a total score of 75 which was good for a 4th place finish individually.

BRANNON TANGQUIST-
Junior Brannon Tangquist put together his best round of the year breaking 80 and shooting a 79. Tangquist carded two birdies, eight pars, six bogeys, a double bogey, and a triple bogey. The birdies came on Par four 363-yard second hole, and 324-yard Par four fifth hole.

CONNOR MARUSKA-
Freshman Connor Maruska worked his way around the golf course well and shot a 43 in his first nine holes. He followed that up with a 42 on his second nine and like Fischer and Tangquist, he had at least one birdie in his round as he started his day with a 3 on the 266-yard Par four first hole.

ASHTON SHOCKMAN-
Junior Ashton Shockman had one birdie himself today and it came on the 306-yard Par four third hole. In total Shockman had that birdie, four pars, six bogeys, and seven double bogeys for a score of 90.

GAVIN WINGER –
Senior Gavin Winger was next in line for Crookston as he shot a 93. Winger shot a 52 on his front nine with just one par but stepped up his game and was much better the next time through the course shooting a 41 with four pars. 

EVAN SHOCKMAN-
Evan Shockman played his first nine in 49 strokes with three pars, one bogey, two double bogeys, and three triple bogeys. His second time through he improved and shot a 45 with just one par, but six bogeys and two double bogeys. That gave the freshman a round of 94.

The Pirates will be back in action on Tuesday in Bemidji at the Town & Country Club for the pre-section meet. The event will begin at 9:00 a.m.
