Rahmig leads golf team in Arkansas

The Chadron State golf team finished in eighth-place at the Hardscrabble Invitational on Tuesday in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The Eagles shot a team score of 395-386-381-1162 in the 54-hole tournament.
The golfers played 36 holes on Monday followed by the usual 18 on Tuesday. The par 70 course proved difficult for all competitors as no golfer was able to post a round under par. Midwestern State University won the team title shooting 307-295-297-896.
The Eagles were led by Sam Rahmig, junior of Gering. The team leader shot 86-83-87 for a tournament total of 256 strokes. Her performance landed her in a tie for 29th place individually. Consistency has been key for Rahmig. All the rounds carded by Rahmig were within four shots of her season stroke average.
“I felt as if my performance for the weekend was about average,” Rahmig said. “That’s what I’ve been shooting around all season. I’m really proud of our team.”
Adrianna Weeldreyer, freshman of Newell, South Dakota came in second for the Eagles shooting 99-92-91 for a total of 282. Logan Kasten, freshman of Cheyenne, Wyoming shot 97-106-102-305. Rounding out the Eagles team score was Tori Meschke, freshman of Broken Bow finishing in 42nd with a tournament total of 113-105-101-319.
The Hardscrabble Invitational was the Eagles last opportunity to compete before the RMAC championship. The team has just over a week to sharpen their skills before traveling to Chandler, Arizona to compete.
“I’m really proud of our team. We are pretty young this year so it’s a great building experience and they work hard in everything to get better. I’ve been working on enjoying the game more as I head into my senior season,” Rahmig said.
CSC will play the course at Ocotillo Golf Resort April 22- 24 to contend for the conference championship.
