CSC golf team finishes regular season in third

CSC golf team finished its regular season to take third at the Hardrocker Spring Invitational, Monday at Arrowhead Country Club in Rapid City, South Dakota.

The team competed against 11 teams, finishing 36 holes in one day with 696 total strokes.

“It’s a long day for sure, not just physically but mentally,” Kenzey Kanno, sophomore of Mitchell, said. “I know we all wanted to do better, and we definitely wanted to win the tournament, but we were happy with third place.”

Kanno, who golfed as an individual, tied 13th after the first round at 87 strokes, but she moved up to tie in seventh after her second round of 84, with a total of 171 strokes.

“I felt pretty good but definitely did not shoot the scores I wanted to shoot,” Kanno said. “The conditions were a little tough with the wind at times which made it hard, but I was happy overall.”

Also at 171 strokes, Alpine Hickstein, junior of Chadron, remained in seventh place after both rounds, 82 strokes in the first and 89 in the second to tie with Kanno.

Kinsey Smith, sophomore of Windsor, Colorado, finished 11th after golfing 87 for both rounds with a 174-stroke total.

The Eagles move to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Tournament, Sunday, April 17 to Tuesday, April 19, at Whirlwind Golf Course in Chandler, Arizona.

“It’s gone by so fast I feel like,” Kanno said. “It’s just really crazy to think that we are already almost done with another season.”
