The Lake Orion Dragons Varsity Golf Team continued their strong play by capturing the Oakland County Golf Championship on May 15.
The weather finally cooperated for a great day of golf at Pontiac Country Club for the championship, but the wet spring had already created a saturated golf course. The playing conditions were very difficult, but that did not stop the Dragons from capturing the county championship for the first time since 2013.
The team was led by Justin Sui shooting a 72, which was second overall. Andres Navarro shot a 73, for a third-place finish and Drew Coble’s 76 was 10th best in the field of 124 players.
Andrew Jacques’ round of 82 was the fourth and final score to count as the Dragons edged the Clarkston Wolves by two shots.
The top five team finishers for the county were; Lake Orion with a team score of 303, Clarkston 305, Novi Catholic Central 318, Bloomfield Hills 320 and Walled Lake Northern at 325.
“This Championship comes at a great time as the team starts to prepare for the post season playoff run. The MHSAA Regional Competition will be at Twin Lakes Country Club on May 29,” said Athletic Director Chris Bell.
