Reeths-Puffer finished fifth in the O-K Green Conference finals
Thursday at Muskegon Country Club, though it was close to a successful
finish. The Rockets' team score of 342 was only 14 strokes behind
second-place Jenison and eight behind third-place Caledonia. League
powerhouse Mona Shores easily took the title.
Kristian Brown
placed ninth overall in the meet, shooting an 81 and making a birdie on
three holes. Brown's season-long performance secured him all-conference
honorable mention honors.
“We play in a tough conference.
There are a lot of very good golfers," Rockets' coach Matt Pallett said.
"Kristian proved once again that he is one of them. For the fourth
straight
year he has earned either all-conference or all-conference honorable
mention. That is quite an accomplishment.”
Following Brown was
Jordan Benkert with an 84, including one birdie. Beckett Mathes carded
an 88 and produced one of the day's highlights for R-P when he made a
chip-in eagle on the par-4 seventh hole. Ian Vokal rounded out Rocket
scoring with an 89.
