Victor golf star sets program record, ties course mark
Victor senior Brody Burgess sunk his record-setting 18-foot putt on Monroe Golf Club's ninth hole. It was a much tougher shot than he expected, though. Burgess broke Victor's program record and tied the Monroe Golf Club course mark after shooting six-under par 30 while helping the Blue Devils (5-0) win a match against Penfield, Pittsford Sutherland and Irondequoit on April 21. Burgess shares the Monroe Golf Club record with Sutherland's Owen Corby, who shot six-under par in 2023. Advertisement "I gave a fist pump. It was a cool moment. But I could've made it easier on myself," said Burgess, the 2023 All-Greater Rochester Boys Golfer of the Year. 'Stay calm' Victor's Brody Burgess is the AGR player of the year for boy's golf. Burgess' scorecard had more circles than a tic-tac-toe board. His scores were 3-4-4-3-3-3-4-2-4. Burgess birdied six times through the front nine, sinking putts on the first, third, fourth, fifth, eighth and ninth holes. He parred the other three holes. Burgess said his previous best Section V score was a 33 on four birdies at Victor's home course, Ravenwood Golf Club, in 2023. On April 21, Burgess birdied the par-3 eighth hole to set himself up for an "easy" ninth hole to at least tie the Victor record. However, a "poor" shot into a sand dune almost ruined his opportunity. A chip shot onto the green gave Burgess a chance at an 18-foot birdie shot. Burgess took extra time to concentrate on the record-setting putt, and he nailed it.
