The three-day, 56-hole event included nine
schools from Illinois and Missouri.
The Lynx turned in a combined team score of 986 earning them 6th
place overall. The top two teams plus the top five individuals
qualify for the national tournament.
Lincoln was led by sophomore Hunter Bettis of Bluffs, with
scores of 80, 78, and 77. The three-day score of 235 earned
Hunter a trip to the NJCAA National Tournament May 23-26 at
Longbow Golf Club in Mesa, AZ.
This will be the second trip to a national tournament for Bettis.
In 2016 Hunter competed in the NJCAA National Tournament at Swan
Lake Resort in Plymouth, IN. In that event, a 72 hole total of
294 (+6) performance was good enough for a T-22 finish earning
him All-American Honorable Mention status.
Other Lynx members competing in the region event were: Hunter
Leach (So. Glasford), Jack White (Fr. Mason City), Cody Curry
(So. Mason City) and Josh Matthews(So. Delavan).
