Bruns, Tribe girls top Flyers

Jalyn Bruns was oh so close to shooting under par.

Her toughest hole of the day was her last.

Bruns had to settle for a double bogey on her last hole and finished with a 1-over-par 36 in leading the Fort Recovery High School girls golf team to a Midwest Athletic Conference win against the Marion Local Flyers on Thursday at Portland Golf Club.

The Indians (5-2, 3-0 MAC) topped the Flyers, 187-194.

Bruns converted par on her first three holes before making bogey on the par-4 fourth hole. After consecutive pars, Bruns birdied each of the next two holes — the par-4 seventh and the par-3 eighth. Sitting at 1-under with one hole to go, she settled for double bogey to end her round.

Paige Bihn had the second-best score for the Indians with her round of 47, which included making par on the 119-yard eighth hole. Shelby Acheson was two strokes behind Bihn, and she had one par on the 401-yard, par-5 sixth hole.

Macy Brunswick completed the team score with her score of 55.

Kim Hart and Alaina Will each shot 69, but they did not factor into the team score.
