With first round action being conducted at
BREC’s Beaver Creek, the tournament concluded
at Webb Memorial Golf Course for boys and girls
divisions ranging in age from 7 to 17.
In the 7 to 11 year old boys division, 10-year old
Drew Silman of Zachary shot 9 hole scores of 47
and 40 to beat out 11-year old Evan Luu, a student
at St. George, by 4 shots for the top spot. Nyles
Williams of Baton Rouge, finished with a total of
103 for the third place award.
In the girls division of the 7- to 11-year-old class,
Kate Daniel scorched it with a two day total of 56
and 50 to take first place over Sophia Macias who
finished second with a 125 total.
Kyle Bennett of Zachary dominated play in the
12-14 year old boys division, with a two-day total
of 159. Connor Broome turned in a 96 and 95 to
take the second place award while Teagan Richards
of Baton Rouge finished two shots behind Broome
for third.
In the 15 to 17 year old boys round, Andrew
Bennett of Zachary dominated as his younger
brother Kyle did. With scores of 77 and 76 that saw
Beaver Creek and Webb Golf Course playing long
and tough, Bennett outlasted the field with long and
straight drives while also managing control of his
short game and putting. Only Cross Marchand,
a Catholic High golfer, managed to stay within
hailing distance with scores of 78 and 80, followed
by Peyton Canter who finished with a two day total
of 163.
Bennett said, “I managed to make par when it
counted and didn’t have too many big numbers that
would have hurt me.” Bennett, a student at Zachary
High, will be around for a few more years to defend
his title, as he is a young 15 years old.
In the girls 15-17 division, Anna Heine has been a
dynasty. In a five-peat, she took the title once again
with scores of 75 both days. Kylie O’Brien, a young
14-year-old talent from Zachary, finished second
with scores of 91 and 89. Heine has continued to
be the highlight of the girl’s division, even playing
one year from the boys tees to compete against them
for their title as well.
