GENEVA — Every Jay County High School player broke the 100 mark Saturday as the team built off of the success of its home opener.
After shooting a season-best 165 Thursday at Portland Golf Club, the Patriot golfers posted a 357 for their best 18-hole score to finish as the runners-up at the South Adams Invitational. They won the fifth-player tiebreaker with Evan Ryder’s 96 to take second place ahead of Shenandoah (357).
Garrett won with a 343, and the host Starfires finished seventh with a 404 in the tournament at Golf Club of the Limberlost.
Senior Drew Houck set the pace with an 82 for Jay County, which had shot 390 and 393 in its first two 18-hole events of the year. He had three consecutive birdies on the third, fourth and fifth holes and shot 1-over-par on the front nine.
Evan Mathias, a freshman, followed Houck with one birdie and seven pars for an 86. Austin Mann shot 94, and Justen Keller rounded out the team score with a 95.
