Staunton’s Broc Best places third
in boys’ 16-17 championship flight
The fall sports’ season is here and local golfers are coming in sharp, particularly Carlinville’s Tate Duckels and North Mac area native Colin Thoroman.
After winning some consolation hardware at the Drysdale meet in Springfield at the end of July, Duckels took a step up and reached the peak when he traveled to compete in the Edgewood Junior Classic in Auburn Aug. 2-3.
Duckels shot a 157 in the boys’ 14-15 championship flight and ended the tournament with a commanding nine-stroke vault over Max Fisher for the top spot. His teammate, Colin Pope, shot a 173 and placed fourth.
Broc Best of Staunton shot a 154 and earned the third place ranking in the boys’ 16-17 championship flight. Best was two shots short of a runner-up medal. The title went to Litchfield’s Tug Schwab, who finished at 147.
In the boys’ 11-13 group, the top three placements were owned by county golfers. Thoroman (79) took home the glory and Carlinville featured a dynamic duo that filled the runner-up and third place spots, respectively. Cade Vinyard (82) was just three strokes behind Thoroman and Carter Zilm (88) ranked third.
