Nate Stevens, Northfield’s current champ, missed a hole that would have won him the title. Edina’s Jack Wetzel followed suit. It was the first time since the three class system that there was a tie for the state title.
“They’re great people,”Wetzel, a senior, will be joining the Gophers next season. “So I’m pretty honored to share it with them.”
Rosemount’s Owen Rexing was the last to claim a part of the title.
“I’m just a little bit in shock from not expecting to win today, he said. “I was going in like top 5 is cool. Just kept going. Rexing said, “I made a couple of good putts, and here I am.”
“Bittersweet,”Stevens said that this year’s Mr. Golf. “Right now it’s a little more bitter than it is sweet. But I know the sweetness will come in a little bit.”
Stevens will play college golf for Notre Dame.
It was a battle down the stretch for the girls between Blaine’s Kathryn VanArragon’s Kathryn McCauley and Simley’s McCauley sisters. Blaine entered the day with a lead of two shots.
Reese McCauley, the defending champ, dropped back after a lightning delay to take third. Isabella McCauley was two strokes behind for most of the round. VanArragon held off her to win by two, the junior’s second state crown, four-years after she won it in seventh grade.
“It’s unbelievable. It’s crazy, too, I mean, how long ago it was. I think it was four years ago that I won for the first time. I think a lot of things have changed since then so it’s really exciting to be back here,”VanArragon.
Alexandria won the team title. Edina won the title for the boys.
