MONUMENT | Continental League play started in style for the Regis Jesuit boys golf team Thursday with a five-stroke victory at King’s Deer Golf Club.
Coach Craig Rogers’ Raiders won the last league tournament of last season to finish as the Continental League runner-up and claimed the first one of this season with a team score of 225, which put them at the head of the field that saw ThunderRidge (230) finish second and Legend (232) take third.
Regis Jesuit had the co-medalist of the meet in senior Sam Walker, whose even-par 71 put him in a tie with ThunderRidge’s Austin Hunt. Walker, a returning Class 5A state qualifier, had five birdies on the day and got as low as 4-under with four holes remaining before he recorded bogies on the last four.
Senior Ben Sander — who finished sixth at the 5A state meet last season — carded a plus-4 75 to tie for fifth, while junior Brady Davis had the third score with a 79. Senior Anthony Lore shot 80 and senior William Kellogg an 81 to round out Regis Jesuit’s scores.
The next Continental League tournament is scheduled for Aug. 14 at Broken Tee G.C.
