Wolff, Seminole win district

Stroud graduate Brice Wolff was the individual medalist and the Seminole State golf team won the South Central District Championship title recently at the Shawnee Country Club.

Wolff, a freshman, had a three-round total of 13-overpar on the par-70 layout for the tournament. His 3-over 73 in the final round was enough to move him into first over 2nd-round leader Will Claywell of Mineral Area College.

The team won the sudden-death playoff over Murray State.

Seminole, Murray,, Hesston College of Kansas and Mineral Area College of Missouri battled through windy conditions to reach hole locations meant to challenge the athletes in the final round. Each of those four teams would occupy the spot at the top of the leaderboard for brief periods.

Eventually at the end of the scheduled rounds, Seminole and Murray State were locked in a two-way tie for the championship with 3-round total scores of 921.

Their tournament finish earned SSC a berth in the NJCAA Men’s Division 2 National Championship to be held at Swan Lake Resort in Plymouth, Indiana May 23-26.
