CHESTER, SC- On Monday morning the Boiling Springs girls golf team teed off at the Chester Country Club for the second week in a row and after punching their ticket to the Upper State tournament last week, they secured their spot in the 5A state championship tournament by shooting their best team score of the season.
"I am so proud of the team," said Bulldogs head coach Macy Tate. "They played awesome today and did exactly what they needed to do to qualify for the state championship tournament. I feel like we're playing our best golf at the right time of the year and can't wait to play one more time as a team next week." Boiling Springs for the first time this season, in an eighteen hole tournament, had each of their players shoot a score under 100 as they shot a team score of 341 to finish in a tie for seventh place, which was ten shots better than their score at the same course last week. The top eight teams from both the Upper State and Lower State championship tournaments qualify for the state championship tournament. The Bulldogs tied for seventh with Mauldin and one just one shot behind sixth place Spartanburg and six shots behind their region champions Gaffney. Blythewood won the tournament with a score of 281, which was twenty-two shots ahead of second place Dorman (303) and third place Byrnes (320), after having three golfers shoot a score under par on Monday. Boiling Springs was led by junior golfer Madison Dixon who finished the tournament in third place after shooting a score of 70, which put her just one shot back of tying for first place with Blythewood players Paige Paolucci and Caroline Hawkins who both shot scores of 69 to tie for first place. Dixon along with teammates Sarah Wentz, Sophia Leso, Bella Greene, and Ryanna Douglas continue the Bulldogs long streak of qualifying for the state championship tournament that has lasted for more than seven years. Boiling Springs will next return to the course when they travel to the South Carolina 5A state championship next Monday and Tuesday at the Country Club of South Carolina located in Florence, SC.
