Unsurprising to the rest of the field, Marinette couldn’t be caught at the Oconto Falls Invitational at River Island Golf Course on Thursday.
The Marines had the top two individual scores and another top-10 finisher, leading to a team score of 328. They finished five strokes ahead of second-place Bay Port (333), with Ashwaubenon (348) in third.
Braden Mueller led Shawano with an 81, placing him in a tie for third with Kyle Breitenfeldt of Bay Port and leading the Hawks (350) to a fourth-place finish. After nine holes, Mueller was one stroke behind a five-player tie for the lead with a 41. He had his lone birdie on the first nine, at the par-5 No. 7.
Mueller started the second nine with another birdie, at No. 1. However, a triple bogey at No. 5, followed by two consecutive bogeys, removed Mueller from the lead group. Marinette’s Garrett Waloway (79) and Dakota Langlois (80) earned the two best scores of the invitational.
Josh Mueller finished with an 85 for the Hawks, placing him 14th on the individual board.
Cole Huntington had two double bogeys through nine and had a 47 at the turn, but he improved for a 44 on the second nine to finish at 91. Braxten Surber added a 93 for Shawano.
Clintonville avoided a last-place finish in the 11-team tournament, placing 10th with a team total of 406. Paul Kenfield led the Truckers with a 95, shooting a 48 on the first nine and 47 on the second. Justin Mueller led the team through nine with a 47, but had two triple bogeys and two double bogeys in the final six holes of his round. Mueller finished with a 99; Tyler Colla had a 97.
