The Kimball Longhorns are WTC and Kimball Invite champions after winning it all at Four Winds Golf Course. Kneeling, from left, are Tradin Hottell, Hatcher Baxendale and Wyatt Cook. Middle row: Tig Woolington, Connor Deboodt, Kyler Lusche, Landon Norberg, Ryker Behrend and coach Chuck Christensen, Back row: Cainin Sours, Brandon Paxton, Nolan Cook and Sam Anderson.
The Kimball Longhorn golf team took first in both the WTC and the Kimball Invite last Friday with Kyler Lusche leading the pack.
Lusche talked about the highlights: "My chipping, my wedges were the best. I couldn't really hit any good drivers but made up for it with chipping. I didn't really have any bad chips, left me short putts."
He said the greens were a little slower, but he was able to land the ball closer to the hole.
Lusche shot 35/38 for a 78 and first place to lead his team. Landon Norberg shot 43/41 for an 84. Norberg took sixth place for the invite and eighth place in the WTC.
Kimball's first-place team score was 338, followed by runner-up Bridgeport at 349.
