Boiling Springs golfer Madison Dixon let it be known on Monday that she is playing some very good golf, as the golf season heads into postseason play, as she won the Region Player of the Year honors by defeating the field at the Region III-5A tournament at Chester Golf Club.
Dixon shot a score of 72 on Monday which was three shots ahead of the next closest golfer, Vivian Harris of Nation Ford. While Dixon won the Region Player of the Year honors, the junior also made her fifth straight All-Region team on Monday. "It feels real good to be a region champion," said Bulldogs Madison Dixon. "All my work is paying off and I can't wait to play at Upper State on Monday. Also it feels good to be going back to the same course for Upper State because I know I can do well there and I'll look to improve on my performance today." Bulldogs head coach Macy Tate said that she was proud of the performance by Dixon on Monday. "Madison did awesome today," said Tate. "She was in a group with the best golfers from our region and I think she led most of the day. She played really steady golf today." Dixon wasn't the only Bulldog to make the All-Region team as Sarah Wentz also came away with All-Region honors after firing a score of 81 at the golf course. Boiling Springs as a team came away with a third place finish at the region tournament after shooting a team score of 351 which was just two shots behind second place Fort Mill (349). Gaffney won the team region championship after shooting a team score of 332. The Bulldogs played their best team golf on Monday as they shot their lowest team score of the season in the region tournament. "I think we're in a good spot as we are playing our best golf of the season," said Tate. "Today was our best score of the season by twenty shots, which improved on our previous score from a week ago. I think we're moving in the right direction and I think we hit the ball well at Chester which should help us next week." With their third place finish the Bulldogs qualify for the Upper State championship that will be played next Monday at the same Chester Golf Club. Comments are closed.
