LANDRUM, SC - The Chesnee girls golf team started off the defense of their state championship title with a strong victory over Landrum at the Links O'Tryon as the Eagles fired a 162, twenty-nine shots ahead of the Cardinals.
The victory is the first match in the title defense of the Eagles, as they return four starters from last year's team as the only player to graduate from last year's team was senior Sydney Roberts. Chesnee head coach Kyle Scruggs was satisfied with the performance of his team in their first match out but said he still sees areas in which the team can improve this season. "I'm pleased with how we played as we shot a team score in the 160's today," said Scruggs. "I still saw areas where we can improve as we had a few shots come up short at different points in the match that could have put us easily below 160 today. We'll keep working to improve in each match as we go along in the season." Olivia Roberts led the way for the Eagles as she won the medalist honors with a score of 36 and was followed closely behind by Addy Parker who shot a score of 37 on Thursday afternoon. They also got a solid match from Olivia Shields, who shot a 44, and from Abigail Watson who fired a score of 45. Chesnee will next return to play on Tuesday in the Lady Rebel Invitational at River Falls and Scruggs says he's looking forward to the competition that his team will face there. "I'm looking forward to the Lady Rebel Invitational on Tuesday as it's always a great tournament," said Scruggs. "When you're at that tournament you know you're facing some of the best teams in the Upstate of South Carolina from all levels and I'm looking forward to seeing how we measure up against some of those teams." After playing at the Lady Rebel Invitational, the Eagles will then host their first match of the season at Meadowbrook Golf Course against fellow district school Boiling Springs with the match set to begin at 4:00 PM.
