May 2—ELK RAPIDS — Griffin Mawson shot a 1-under back nine to finish at even par 72 and win the Elk Rapids Invitational by two strokes, while also leading Traverse City Central to the team title.

Mawson birdied No. 15 at A-Ga-Ming's Sundance course Wednesday to get back to even.

The Trojans senior edged out Charlevoix senior Hudson Vollmer by two shots, with Central senior EJ Maitland third with a 75, Traverse City St. Francis junior Josh Slocum and TCC senior Cameron Mansfield tied for fourth with 77s and Elk Rapids sophomore Baron Vollmer, TC Central freshman Jaxson Soper, Boyne City senior Ryan Reynolds and Elk Rapids senior Gabe Lavely tied for sixth with 78s.

"The wind was gusting to 30 miles per hour, so it was kind of a grind," TC Central coach Lois McManus said. "(Mawson) did a terrific job, just grinding and working. He stayed true to his shot."

Cadillac junior Noah Traviss, TCSF junior David Ansley and Elk Rapids junior Greyson Cook tied for 10th at 79, with the next five finishers all from Traverse City, with West's Hudson Robertson and Blake LaFaive and Central's Devin Garner tied for 13th with 80s and TCC senior Andrew Fender and TCSF sophomore William Gibbons each at 82.

Central won the team title with a combined 304, beating out St. Francis and Elk Rapids for the top spot by 17 shots. TC West and Central's JV Black were tied for fourth at 321, followed by Charlevoix (336), Cadillac (345), Grayling (360), Boyne (361), TC Christian (369), Cheboygan (378), Harbor Springs (378), Kalkaska (381), East Jordan (383) and Grand Traverse Academy (475).

The Trojans are in the midst of a stretch where the team plays seven events in nine days, although with 33 golfers between varsity and JV, McManus can send different student-athletes to different events to spread things out a bit. The JV team plays Thursday at Ogemaw Heights, with varsity at The Loop in Roscommon on Friday.
