Junior Bebop Martinez tees off on the 11th hole Thursday at Wolf Run Golf Course.
RENO — Carson High finished a distant fourth in Thursday’s Sierra League golf tournament at Wolf Run.
Galena won the tourney with 380 followed by Bishop Manogue 402, Damonte Ranch 442, Carson 479, Wooster 506 and Douglas 524.
“We certainly didn’t play as well as last week,” CHS coach Wade Greenlee said. “For the most part, all the scores were higher. It was windy and cold, and the guys kind of let the weather and course play them today instead of staying mentally focused and trying to grind out pars.
“We placed in the top four so our goal of reaching regionals is still on track. Bebop (Martinez) played well, and I’m confident the other guys will stay more focused this coming Monday when we host the tournament at Eagle Valley.”
Martinez shot 82 followed by Matt McCarthy at 91, Lakoda Smokey 98, Taylor Saarem 99, Ethan Lepire 109 and Ty Evans 124.
