On Monday afternoon after storms left the upstate of South Carolina, the Chesnee golf team hosted the Region II-2A championship at Meadowbrook Golf Course where Eagles golfer Peyton Lawter qualified for the state championship later this month.
Chesnee finished in third place as a team on Monday with a score of 364 just five shots behind second place Brashier Middle College, which would have qualified the Eagles for a spot in the state tournament. St. Joseph's won the region championship with a score of 331 on Monday. "It was a nail-biter," said Chesnee head coach Andy Pitt. "I'm disappointed for the team because we came a long way but we can use this as fuel to continue to improve." While the team fell short of moving on they did see ninth grader Peyton Lawter qualify for the state championship as an individual after shooting a score of 82 to also be named to the all-region team. Lawter was joined on the all-region team by four players from St. Joseph's (Joey Clary, Henry Hall, Cade Hagen, and Everett Babcock), two players from Brashier Middle College (Andrew Fugate and Bryson Paris) and Sutton Mullins from Greer Middle College who was region player of the year after shooting a 77 on Monday. "I'm proud of Peyton making all-region and earning a spot in the state championship as an individual," said Pitt. The Eagles will look to build on their success from this season as they will still be a young team next year after starting two seventh graders, an eighth grader, a freshman, and a sophomore on Monday. Lawter will compete in the state championship tournament that will take place at the Country Club of Newberry from May 17-18. Comments are closed.
