Andrew Teribery has flirted with a sub-40 score all season and the Independence senior finally broke through with a match-low 38 on Tuesday to lead the Blue Devils to a 172-196 win over Beachwood at Shawnee Hills Golf Course.
“The difference today was my putting and short game,” Teribery said. “I one-putted most of the way around (the course). I was satisfied but not content; 34 or 35 is attainable for me”
With the low round, Teribery’s confidence is soaring and he’s ready to continue to lead the Blue Devils this season.
“I played well for seven holes and lipped two par putts,” he said. “I made two bad putting strokes. Other than that, my game felt great. I love being the number one golfer and being a senior this year. I was that freshman and now I have the chance to be a leader for the younger guys on my team. Having the pressure on me makes me focus more and gives me momentum to play well.”
Carson Bianco continued to shoot in the low 40s as he finished with a 43. Tyler Sagi shot a 45 and Ryan Zygmunt and Sam Spacagna both finished with 46 while Hugh Corrigan came in with a 52.
“Carson again played a solid round,” said Independence coach Mark Echstenkamper. I know he wasn’t happy with he shot but he’s been very consistent. Tyler Sagi broke into the scoring lineup tonight with a 45, so it was good to see him playing better. We now have three other guys besides Andrew and Carson who can potentially score between Zygmunt, Spacagna and Sagi.”
Independence improved to 1-1. The Blue Devils travel to Berkshire on Wednesday.
