Hole-in-one and Sub-70-point number Highlight memorable day for East Grand Forks Golf-Grand Forks Herald

Give East Grand – the celebration for East Grand Forks started on Wednesday as early as possible. Chase Lindgren made magic on his first swing of the day on the Valley Golf Course.

Lindgren liked his discount on hole No. 11. It was good for the 158-yard-park and looked at the pen in the middle of the green.

“I thought it would be a good shot, but I hadn't expected it to come in,” he said.

The ball landed one meter short and backlog into the cup of hole in a hole on the first hole of the day for Lindgren. It was his first ace and it started a crazy day for the junior golfer.

The disadvantage to start the day with an ace? Had to calm down before he hit the next shot.

“It was certainly difficult,” said Lindgren. “The next shot I hit afterwards was terrible.”

It didn't help that the next shot was a blind t-shirt in a 400 yard-dogleg-right par Four, but he managed to get through it and save a bogey. The Par-Five Heavy Back Nine placed his first challenge in 13th place.

Lindgren knocked down an Adler putt after he had landed his approach above the water.

He would swallow again in 16th place with a double bogey, but birdies at No. 3 and 8 controlled him again on course. An end result of 75 gave Lindgren his lowest round of the year and put it in sixth place on the EGF invitator with team -mate Gavin Rude.

“It is something that he will not soon forget, I can tell you. He has ignited,” said Kyle Thompson, coach of East Grand Fork, said.

As if the day for the Green Wave could not become more unforgettable, Brody Johnson broke 70 on a day -free day.

Johnson was the epitome of consistency on the greens. He was never three-stiff and even started his day with a savings and savings after he had hit his first tee into the right water.

He is a supporter of the short game that is the most important tool for a golfer. The way of thinking remained with him when he spent the distance in his game.

“It only depends on being honest and cropping,” said Johnson. “I am confident with my iron, but if I do the green, right upwards, I just have to go up and down.”

Johnson made himself through the first six holes with pars before he came to the longest par –3 holes on the course in No. 6.

He stormed the green No. 8, in which the pen was sitting on the lower shelf to have two birdies. He has again thought of consecutive birdies on Par-Five holes No. 15 and 16. The former is a 468-yard layout, and the latter is the strange 473-yard setup, which banks hard to the left and approaches the green climb.

Johnson looked at a challenging descents in 16th place for Birdie, but he was strong in his contact and sank the four to bring him four on this day.

He was near Boging No. 18, but sealed his 69 with another up and down. The milestone was the tip of the iceberg for East Grand Forks. Your team was a total of 301, which was the lowest that the green wave reached this year.

“It doesn't happen every day. It is pretty crazy to think about a four-end-PAR round for a high school child, and it was great when it was supported with a few scores in the 70s,” said Thompson.

Together with Rude and Lindgrens 75, Nick Corbett collected 11 pars and two birdies for a 77 and Chase Useldler voted on with three birdie threes.

Ty Grinsteiner from Badger-Greenbush-Middle River was not too overshadowed and was another consistent golfer who challenged Johnson for first place. Grinsteiner also made consistent putts in the 1B group, but really managed to improve the back nine.

After six consecutive pars, he started with a birdie on the reached Par Four No. 10 and used the perfume in No. 13 and 15.

“They only had to briefly play their approaches and hopefully they jump up there. It is better to be short than being long,” he said.

Grinsteiner sat two under 15 and only one back of Johnson, but consecutive bogeys to No. 17 and 18 plunged the hopes to reach him. He ended with one even 73.

Garrett Fischer started his day with Double Bogeys No. 10 and 13, but gained 35 in his last nine holes and demanded a place in third place. The Crookston pirate met four birdies in 14 holes, including the hard 18th green, which has an almost blind rapprochement shot. He ended with a 74.

In addition to fishermen in a tie for third place, Andrew Rogalla and Parker Lundgren were located. Rogalla Eagel collected Par 5 No. 3 and 11 PAR parades. Lundgren brewed his second hole No. 17 and Eagled Par Five No. 5. He was sitting at Two or-PAR for a while, but double bogeys on No. 8 and 10 had him catch up. He managed to finish Birdie No. 13 and 15 for four to end his day.

Which one buys a dinner between Lindgrens Hole-in-One and Johnson's 69-point number?

“(Chase) I might be sure,” joked Johnson. “He is one of my best friends. We play together all the time in summer.”
