McAuley struggles with tough Rivercut course



By Don Abernathy

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — After posting an uncharacteristically high team score (382), McAuley Catholic sits in ninth place after the first round of the MSHSAA Class 1 boys golf state championship at Rivercut Golf Course.

Tipton High School leads the two-day event with a 331 total. Marceline’s team total of 345 is second and Sacred Heart holds third (347) with one day of play remaining.

“We had some kids play well and some that didn’t play to their full potential,” McAuley coach Chris Myers.

“We have three seniors who’ve been here before, so I didn’t expect nerves to be a big factor for them. We’re capable of shooting a lot better and hopefully (today) we’ll settle in and post a better score.”

According to Myers, McAuley would need something really special to happen today for his team to get back in contention.

“We would have to shoot unbelievably and somebody else would have to just blow up for us to have a chance,” Myers said.

“Realistically, we’re just looking to shoot what we are capable of shooting and let the rest take care of itself.”

Future Missouri Southern golfer and former state champion Jared Essary of Galena is tied atop the leaderboard with Tipton’s Trey Allison after both players posted a 5-over-par 77.

“I just feel I gave the field two or three strokes today just from poor shots,” Essary said.

“I let a really good round get away from me. I’m pretty mad right now, but if I come out tomorrow and shoot close to even par — that should be good enough.”

McAuley senior Pat Braeckel is still within striking distance with an 84 and is tied for 18th place.

“Braeckel shot right at his average, but a nine-hole average at Schifferdecker Golf Course and a nine-hole average (at Rivercut) are a little different,” Myers said.

“So obviously, he played well.”
