MONDAY ROUNDUP
BOYS GOLF-4A State Tournament at Stone Creek GC in Oregon City
It was a bit of a struggle for the Cowapa League co-medalists on day one of the tournament as both Astoria's Alex Ferber and Seaside's Devan Flukinger finished with below average scores. The tournament is playing out as predicted at the top with Marist and Phoenix battling for the team title and two golfers from each school occupying the top four spots on the leaderboard. Marist, which won last year's 3A title currently stands in first place at 11-over 299, four strokes ahead of second place Phoenix, while the Spartans' Allen Kelley has a one stroke lead over J.T. Compher and Daniel Engle of Phoenix and his sophomore teammate Jack Pennington with an even-par 72. Ferber sits 13 strokes behind the leader after shooting a 40-45-85 on day one. Flukinger had a tough finish to his day and is tied for 72nd with a 93. Marcus Kienlen of Scappoose leads all Cowapa League representatives with a 78, good enough for a tenth place tie.
