Carbon junior Bode Salas was selected to the 3A All-State First Team, it was announced by the Utah Section of the Professional Golfers Association of America this week. This is Salas’ third year in a row receiving the honor.

Salas led the Dinos to a second place finish in the Region 12 Championships at Palisade Golf Course back in September and also turned in the low round of 71 to earn the individual region title. In the 3A State Championships, at Oquirrh Hills in Tooele, he would shoot a two day total of 144 to claim second place individually, eight strokes behind Morgan’s Taner Telford, as a team Carbon would go on to finish seventh.

The Utah Section PGA extends the honor of First Team All-State to the top ten golfers in each classification, the next ten are selected to the Second Team, and the next ten after that are selected to Honorable Mention.

The Utah Section of the PGA of America has been actively supporting high school golf for over 25 years. Twenty years ago they developed the Utah High School All-State Golf Program. The All-State Golf selection process is unique among all-state honors programs in that it is all by the numbers. Thirty-five percent of a players best region scores and sixty-five percent of their state championship scores are used to rank each player.

All First Team All-State players will be invited to the All-State Invitational tournament and Banquet at the end of May.
