Faber cards 81 to lead BV

Hillcrest Golf and Country Club challenged the Lynx at Friday’s Yankton Invitational, and the end result in the 15-team invite was 12th place. Aberdeen Central led the charge, coming in at 308, followed by second-place O’Gorman, who had a 311-team tally. Rapid City Stevens nipped Sioux Falls Washington by a stroke, 314-315, for third and fourth place, respectively.

Jackson Faber tied for 22nd place behind his 9-over-par 81, and teammate Austin Swenson carded an 84 to tie for 33rd.

Lynx head coach Scott Carroll complimented Faber’s consistent leadership.

“Jackson continues to play well for the Lynx and leading the team,” he said. “I am very excited and proud of how Jackson has played this year. He has taken that next step to be a very good competitor and golfer for the Lynx.”  

BV senior Mitch Gusso finished with an 85, placing him in a tie for 37th.

Roosevelt’s Jack Lundin overcame Stevens’ Lane Jensen in a one-hole sudden death playoff to win medalist honors. Both carded 1-under-par rounds of 71.

BV heads to the Mitchell Invite Friday and return to Yankton for a Sept. 19 dual.
