GOLF: Chargers fire season low 160, top two MHC foes
May 9—The Chargers played their first home match of the year Monday and shot a season best 160 to take two wins over conference opponents Edinburgh (210) and Hauser (214).
"It was uncertain if the match would take place due to a downpour just before the match was supposed to start. However, the rain cleared up and the weather throughout the match was near perfect," North Coach Hochstedler said.
In the Chargers' best performance of the season, Jack Koehne (season low), Owen Eldridge and Cooper Parmer (career low) split the medalist honors with scores of 39 (+3). Austin Gould rounded out the top four with a score of 43, and Mason Morris provided the fifth score with a 47. Coach Hochstedler noted, this is the first time in the past four years the Chargers have had three players with under 40 in the same match.
South Decatur had two golfers at the match. Ayden Billingsley carded a 58 for the Cougars and Gabe Lux had a 72.
The Chargers return to action at Blue Bear Golf Course in Shelbyville Thursday against conference opponent Waldron.
