Lutheran West’s introduction to the Chagrin Valley Conference began with a win at the league’s preseason tournament earlier this week and on Wednesday the Longhorns opened conference match play with a 177-225 win over Wickliffe at Red Tail Golf Club in Avon.
“This was the Longhorns’ first duel match in the CVC, so we were happy to start with a win,” Lutheran West coach Dale Lehrke said. “Red Tail was playing difficult with gusts of wind and humid conditions. I’m very proud of our guys and the way they performed.”
Tyler Robinson won medalist honors with a match-low score of 42. D.J. Robinson (44), Jakob Gross (45) and Jake DeTullio (51) rounded out the scoring for Lutheran West.
“I was proud of D.J. Robinson for carding a 44. This is a good turnaround from some struggles he has had recently,” Lehrke said. “We need to continue with improvement in our short game.”
Drew Michalski led Wickliffe with a 49.
