NEW GLARUS — Mineral Point won the New Glarus Invite May 12 at Edelweiss Chalet and Country Club.
Mineral Point’s score of 356 was 18 shots better than Dodgeville (374). The next five teams were separated by just 14 strokes. River Valley carded a 401 for third place, New Glarus was just two strokes behind in fourth. Argyle-Pecatonica had a 407, with Belleville-Monticello at 412 and Brodhead coming in at 415.
Mineral Point’s Alex Ross was the individual medalist with a 79, tied with Dodgeville’s Tyler Bradley. Lake Mills’ Joey Toepfer was third with an 85.
Zak Arnett led New Glarus with a 97. Teammate’s Darris Schuett and Ty Ready each had a 100, with Luke Brecklin carding a 106 and Jack Douma a 109. Schuett, returning from an severe ankle sprain suffered in a football game days before, had one of the top shots of the day — a long put across the green on 11 that went up the hill and rolled back down into the cup. The pin placement at the base of the small but steep hill gave trouble to golfers from all teams.
Belleville-Monticello’s Peter Gustafson carded a team-leading 88. Peyton Smith had a 107, Gran Grossen a 108, Reid Nolden a 109 and Xander Cribben a 120.
Justin Carlson had a 91 to lead Argyle-Pecatonica, with Noah Krahenbuhl scoring a 94. David Tisch and Alex Emberson each had a 111, and Jaimie Owens finished with a 117.
Nolan Oliver led Brodhead with a 91, while Onni Oliver had a 96, Grant Purdue a 107, Austin Moe a 121 and Austin Reed a 126.
