The Bonduel High School boys golf team had its best nine-hole score for 2015 Monday, but Pacelli posted the best score of the season in Central Wisconsin Conference-10 competition to win the four-team meet at Golden Sands Golf Course.
Each of the four Pacelli golfers, along with their alternate, finished in the 40s to finish with a 169. Iola finished second with a 184 and Bonduel was third at 196. Gresham was a golfer shy of recording a team score; however, Killian Eggert tied Zach Mortenson, of Iola-Scandinavia, for the low score with a 40.
Eggert was very close to claiming sole possession of first place, holding a three-stroke lead over Mortenson with three holes remaining. The gap narrowed by a stroke at No. 7 and by two strokes at No. 8. Both golfers hit par at No. 9 to finish in a tie.
Zach Acker led Bonduel with a 44 and finished in a tie for seventh with Jon Bauer, of I-S. Acker also was within striking distance of the leaders, but was hampered by bogeys in the final two holes. After seven, he had a 32, just one stroke of behind Eggert and one ahead of Mortenson. Acker dropped to seventh after scoring a six on each of the final two holes.
Austin Acker finished with a 46 for Bonduel, and a seven at No. 6 prevented him from placing higher on the individual leaderboard.
Garret Riemer had a 50 for the Bears; Matt and Mitch LaBerge each finished with a 56.
Bonduel coach Dave LaBerge said the team will need to avoid the late-round struggles in the CWC-10 meet at Foxfire Golf Club in Waupaca on May 21.
“We had several golfers playing very well and just struggled on the last few holes coming in,” he said. “… I believe we can continue to improve and maybe move up a few more spots after the conference meet if we play to our potential.”
Gresham’s Austin Welk and Nate Bowman shot 66 and 69, respectively, at Golden Sands.
