Routh, Patriots Dominate Cypress Ridge

On what was the first clear day in recent memory, the Christ Prep Patriot golf team rained down personal bests on the Sycamore Ridge Golf Club in Topeka, Kansas today en route to a solid victory at the Cornerstone Invitational.

The Patriots were short-handed, missing Nolan Becerra and Sawyer Massing, but the scores did not show it as the top four players combined for a 341, 13 strokes ahead of 2nd Place and host Cornerstone.

Individually, the Patriots showed up with at least four personal bests. Junior Garrett Routh led the way with a 9-over-par 79--the best score of his career. Garrett's score was good enough for 2nd Place, just one stroke behind the winner Josiah Packard from Cornerstone. Timothy Finley came in 3rd with an 83 while Jacob Bishoff's personal best 84 won him 4th Place.  The remaining three Patriots played solid rounds. Sierra Massing turned in a 102 while Phoebe Finley and Regan Hurley turned in their own career best scores of 95 and 99, respectively.

Following CPA and Cornerstone were Sunrise Christian Academy of Wichita, which locked in 3rd Place with a 381. Following Sunrise were Blue Ridge Christian (410) and Veritas Christian (Lawrence, Kansas) with a 459.

The Patriots will compete in two nine hole meets tomorrow. The varsity travels to the Village of Loch Lloyd to compete in a dual meet with Barstow while the JV travels to Eagle Bend G.C. in Lawrence for the Veritas JV Invitational.

Stay tuned for results of these tournaments.
