| The Varsity team defended it's 2nd-place crown at the 4th Annual Servpro Invitational held at Twin Lakes on Aug 12 & 13. In addition to finishing 2nd, Noori took over where Matt left off last year by winning the individual crown. |
| |
| The team started off strong on Wednesday by shooting 285 (+9) on a tough Oaks course. Noori led the way with a 4-under 67, which gave him a 2-shot lead going into day 2. Matt fired a even-par 71. Chris & Han Joe rounded out the scoring for the day. |
| |
| Day two was played on the Lakes course, where the team had to deal with with some bumpy greens. Noori was able to break par & shoot a 1-under 71, which left him in a tie for 1st at 138 (-5). Nick, Han Joe, & Matt rounded out the scoring for the day. |
| |
| It should be noted that Nick destroyed the back nine by posting a 1-under 35 on route to a 4-over 75. What's really special about Nick's round is that he struggled on the par-4 second hole & carded an upside-down 6. Nick spoke after his round & commented how the 2nd hole is a big pain in the rear. (He actually didn't say that, but I think it's safe to say that's what he was thinking.) |
| |
| Day two play ended with the team shooting 299 (+17) en route to a 2-day total of 591. Besides us, only one other team finished under 600. The next closest was Oakton, who fired a 603 to finish 3rd. |
| |
| After finishing tied for 1st, Noori took off to the 10th tee for a sudden-death playoff. After halving the 10th hole, he parred the tough par-3 11th, while his competitor took a bogey. Afterwards, he recalled the his playoff for 5th at States last year, where he lost on the 2nd playoff hole after his competitor made a miraculous 50 ft chip for a birdie. He was glad that didn't happen again. |
