The boy’s golf season is coming to a close at the Stansbury Park Golf Course, home of this year’s 3A State Championships. After day one, Richfield sits atop the leaderboard in the team competition with a 289; the Spartans ended the day in tenth, shooting a 334, missing the cut by two strokes. The Spartans had three golfers advance to day two in the individual championship.

Juab followed Richfield in second place with a 295. Morgan (301), Union (365), and Carbon (313) rounded out the top five. Logan, Ogden, Delta, North Sanpete, and Emery comprised the remainder of the top ten in a field of 15 schools.

There is currently a three-way tie for first in individual competition with Richfield’s Max Albrecht, Juab’s Denver Douglas, and Richfield’s Jorgen Southwick, who all shot an opening round 69.

A trio of Spartans made the cut and moved into day two of the competition: Peyton Neilson landed in 27th, shooting an 80; Champ Justice sits in 36th with his 82; and Bronx Olsen shot an 85 to land in 48th. Brendon Behunin (87), Easton Stoker (94), and Owen Blackham (107) missed the cut.

The Championships conclude today with team and individual champions being crowned.
