Zipfel paces field on day one of MO high school boys State golf tourament
SPRINGFIELD–That as one of many great shots hit Monday morning during day one of the Missouri High School boys State Championship.
And as usual, Rivercut Golf course was the site for the eight different schools vying for the team and individual title in Class 5. And one of the competitors tore it up like he was Scottie Scheffler at this weekend's PGA Championship.
And since they played the first round this morning, mother nature didn't interfere too much.
Then again, Kickapoo's Brady Powers was so locked in at the par 3, 15th hole, he probably wouldn't have noticed. He drained this long birdie putt, which helped the Chiefs stand alone in 7th place going into day two.
As for Nixa's Noah Naugle, his drive landed int he fringe on the short par 4, 16th hole, and this beautiful chip left him with a tap in birdie. He shot and an even par 72 to sit alone in 11th place in the individual bracket.
But Harrison Zipfel was the man running away from the field. Zipfel fired a first round score of 7-under. Ramming his last birdie of the day in at 17. He's two shots clear of the field going into the second and final day Tuesday.
