Lutheran West didn’t have a perfect day on the front 9 at Grey Hawk Golf Club in LaGrange, but the Longhorns did leave the course with a 216-247 win over host Keystone on Thursday.
“We struggled all day with our putting and approach shots,” Lutheran West coach Dave Ressler said. “We’re happy to get the ‘W’ but we know we can shoot about 30 strokes better.”
Sam Webb earned medalist honors with a match-low 44.
Nadia Kauntz carded a 52, Callie Wabeke finished with a 55 and Julia Colton rounded out the Lutheran West scoring with a 65.
Loryn Zeager led Keystone with a 57 and Kalee Kassay added a 58.
Lutheran West and Keystone will play a rematch at Red Tail on Tuesday.
“We’re looking to bounce back at home on Tuesday with a sub-200 round,” Ressler said. “Everyone was about 5-10 strokes higher than their average. It was great to be able to have a match.”
