Luke Bolm knows he left some shots out on the course Thursday.
That being the case, he still played well enough to earn the medalist honors as host Warrenton got the better of Wright City and Veritas Christian in a tri-meet at Warrenton Gold Course.
“I feel like I left some shots on the putting green with three lip-outs and a missed eagle putt on 16,” Bolm said. “My two drives on both par fives (hole Nos. 16 and 18) set me up in great places to score well on each of those holes. (Playing) consistent golf helped throughout the round.”
As it was, Bolm tallied a two-over par 37 to edge teammates, junior Gavin Thompson and senior Gavin Solari by one and two strokes, respectively.
As a team, Warrenton’s 157 easily outplayed Veritas’s 187 and Wright City’s 197.
Warrenton Coach Aaron Jinkerson said that Bolm’s work in the face of adversity shows just how far he’s come as a golfer.
“Luke has been progressing well this season, and his 37 to lead the way wasn't really surprising to me,” Jinkerson said. “He shot a 38 the day before in our match against Washington and I really noticed him dealing with adversity – (his) poor start and the weather conditions better.”
