Micah Calhoun earned Medalist honors with a career round, a one-under, 71. Micah’s round featured four birdies. Starting on 1, Micah birdied 3 & 4 to quickly get out of the gate -2. A dropped shot on 5 was quickly erased with another birdie on 6 to get back to -2. On 11 a wayward drive led to an extensive hunt for the ball in tall grass. After locating his ball, Micah proceeded to hack out. The shot led to an unfortunate bounce into a creek. After careful consideration of options, his -2 round quickly looked in jeopardy! Micah elected to play from WITHIN the hazard. After gingerly taking a stance Micah wedged his ball towards the green. His miraculous shot put him inside 4 feet! Micah tapped in the putt to keep his -2 round intact! Luck ran out on 12 as a three-putt lead to a dropped shot. After consecutive par holes, Micah got home in two on the par 5 16th. He ran his eagle attempt within inches and kicked in for his fourth birdie. After an up and down par on 17 the par 5 finishing hole offered another birdie opportunity. Micah’s third shot into 18 came up a bit short changing the strategy to a par save. His par putt used every bit of the hole, rimming out at the moment of truth, a bogey to end -1 (71) on the day.
Hudson Yoder also had a career round firing an exceptional 73! His round featured two birdies on the second nine. Most impressive was his remarkable ball-striking today as he led the team with 13 greens in regulation!
