Golf team finishes 14th at RMAC tourney

The Eagles traveled to Grand Junction, Colorado, for the RMAC tournament hosted by Colorado Mesa University. With a final two-round score of 714, the Eagles finished 14th out of 17 teams. Dixie State College won with a team total of 629.

Emma Harris, junior of Wahoo, and Kelli Haynes, freshman of Whitney, marked the best scores for Chadron, carding a 172 and 174, respectively. Schuyler Wetzel, junior of Hot Springs, South Dakota, and Danielle Brennan, sophomore of Ellsworth, both finished on Tuesday with 184. Mikayla Gallagher, redshirt freshman of Lead, South Dakota, carded a two-day total of 194. Karson Langley, freshman of Sidney, finished with a 199.

“Last week we struggled managing the course in Hot Springs. We focused a lot on our short game this week and it paid off. We saved a lot of strokes and made a good recovery from last week,” Brennan said. “We are still going to focus on our short game, we can always lose strokes there. I think we are going to also focus on approach shots to help eliminate our number of putts.”

The Eagles will finish the fall season at the West Texas A&M Crossover, Canyon, Texas, Monday.
