The weather on the day was as perfect as you could ask for.
80 degrees and low winds made for a good day for the Lynx.
Sophomore Hunter Bettis finished the day with a team low 73. He
had 5 birdies on the day, but had a few holes and shots get away
from him.
Hunter Leach finished the day with a 76. Leach had the shot of
the day on the Par 5 16th hole. After a solid drive off the tee
left him 235 yards from the pin, the sophomore from Illini
Bluffs hit a three-iron to the green landing the ball about 13
feet from the pin. He missed the eagle putt, but hit a tap in
birdie.
Cody Curry finished the day with 82 and Josh Matthews came in
with an 85 on the day. Nik Jackson from Lanphier, IL rounded out
the day for the Lynx with an 89.
Lincoln finished 6th overall in the event out of 11 teams.
Hunter Bettis was the team's highest individual finisher at 7th
place overall. Hunter Leach tied for 12th place while Cody Curry
finished tied for 36th.
"Today was a much better day for the boys. They have been
putting in the work at the course and it's starting to show off.
They have been focused at practice and are wanting to get
better. They all started out the round really well this time
around which was something we struggled with last time. We are
getting closer to where we want to be. Just have to put two
solid nines together and we will be there." -Coach Adcock
