Fallon senior Jace Harmon drives the ball in Monday's first round of the state golf tournament in Genoa.
Two months removed from helping Fallon win its first state basketball championship in 40 years, Greenwave senior Jace Harmon ended his golf career in similar, comeback fashion.
Although he didn’t place in the top 10 of the 3A state golf tournament on Tuesday at Genoa Lakes, Harmon shook off a rocky Day 1 to finish strong in the final athletic event of his career.
“I was just having a rough day. I think I may have put too much pressure on myself and tried to do things that I was not capable off,” said Harmon, who shot a 97 on Monday. “I had time to reflect and figured that since I had hit rock bottom, I could only go up.”
And up he did.
Harmon improved by 16 strokes on the second day to finish with an 81.
“Once I went through about four holes, I looked and saw that I could put together a great round,” Harmon said. “I was very pleased with my result because I ended my high school career on a high note.”
