Chesnee girls golf team competed in their second eighteen hole golf tournament of the season on Monday afternoon and came away with the victory at The Jack Golf Tournament held at Cross Creek Golf Course in Seneca, SC.
The Eagles won the tournament with a score of 324 which was six shots ahead of second place Gilbert (330) and twelve shots ahead of third place Seneca (336). "It feels good to pick up the win in only our second eighteen hole tournament this year," said Chesnee head coach Kyle Scruggs. "We knew there was a lot of good teams that we'd be competing against heading towards our goal of a state championship, including a team like Gilbert,C and picking up this victory today kind of encourages us to continue to get better so that maybe we can compete with those teams for a state championship at the end of the year." Chesnee's Sydney Roberts, who committed to play at Clemson just this past weekend, came away with medalist honors in her first tournament since making the commitment by shooting a tournament low score of 69 which was four shots better than the next closest golfer. Roberts bogeyed her first two holes on Monday but gave back with a vengeance against the course by shooting five under the rest of the day. "After getting off to a rough start Sydney really just settled down and shot five under for the rest of the tournament," said Scruggs. "She played really well hitting the ball well and hitting greens, giving herself good looks. The way she bounced back after the rough start just shows a lot of maturity on her part." Roberts was joined on the All-Tournament team by fellow Eagle Olivia Roberts, who shot a 74 and Boiling Springs golfer Madison Dixon who shot a 79 on Thursday. The tournament was the first time that all three golfers had competed on the course in Seneca. Chesnee, along with fellow district school Boiling Springs, will return to the course on Tuesday when they both compete at the Greenwood Invitational at the Stoney Point Golf Course in Greenwood, SC.
