Trenton Welch Shoots 90 at Rock Hills Invite
(4/25/23)
(Mankato) Trenton Welch was the only Southern Cloud player competing at Rock Hills on Tuesday; Levi Cool was involved in track workouts. Trenton had a couple of tough holes down the stretch that didn’t allow him to stay in the 80’s, but a lot of the golfers struggled with the cool conditions at Rock Hills on Tuesday. Trenton still shot 90 and finished in 17th place, just 2 places out of a metal. If a couple of bad breaks hadn’t happened it might have been a different story.
Terin Winkel of Lakeside won the tournament with an outstanding 65, Cooper Jermark and Jace Cunningham finished tied for 2nd with 72’s. Cunningham won the scorecard play-off. Lakeside won the team title. They have been unbeatable all year. They turned in another great performance on Tuesday.
“I thought Trenton gave it great effort today. Rock Hills is not an easy walk, it is very hilly, but Trenton hung in there. I think he has the chance to be a really good golfer because he has great distance and he has good touch around the greens. He is also a good putter. He just needs to clean up a few mistakes and he will be right there.” quoted Coach Rick Hatfield.
The Warriors go next to Lakeside (Downs) for the Lakeside Invitational. That is a 1:00 PM start on Tuesday, May the 2nd.
