The Guerin Catholic girls golf team has played three tournaments in the first three days of the season, and all of them have gone pretty well for the Golden Eagles.
Guerin Catholic hosted its own Invitational Wednesday at Pebble Brook Golf Club in Noblesville, winning the six-team event by a comfortable margin. The Golden Eagles carded a team score of 341, with Evansville Mater Dei the runner-up with 358. Other scores were Cathedral 368, Bishop Chatard 392, Brebeuf Jesuit 397 and Cardinal Ritter 433.
“It is nice to get a win,” said GC coach Mark Mathews. “Proud of my girls, because they didn’t play very well in the front side and they all played very well on the back side. That’s a good sign for what we have to come with the future tournaments.”
Christina Pfefferkorn led the way for Guerin Catholic with a 73, good for medalist honors.
“Christina Pfefferkorn played extremely well,” said Mathews. “Seventy-three with a 7 and an 8. I’ve never seen that before.”
Other GC scores were Jenny Zerla 88, Audrey Kunce 89, Isabella Pinion 91 and Mia Thompson 102.
The Golden Eagles will take a break until Saturday, when they play in the State Preview meet at Prairie View Golf Club in Carmel.
Westfield, ranked fourth in the state, also got a tournament victory Wednesday by taking the Seymour Invitational at Shadowood Golf Course.
The Shamrocks totaled 305 as a team. Freshman Sam Brown was the meet medalist with a two-under par 71, while Sophie McGinnis was the runner-up, going one under for a 72.
Other Westfield team scores were Brette Hanavan 80, Allie Hildebrand 82 and Cate Jensen 86. Two Shamrocks played as individuals: Allie McKeown carded 78, good for fifth place, and Mallory Mortl scored an 83.
