Brave golfers fare well vs. larger schools

Cruz De Jong hits a chip shot.

TAMA – The Montezuma Braves boys golf team had a great day on the links on Saturday, May 4, at the South Tama Invitational.

The Braves had two players shoot in the 70s and two others in the 80s as their counting scores. Those added up to a team total of 317 – which is pretty decent – and fourth place in a field of seven schools – all of them larger than Montezuma.

Brady Boulton hits a short iron shot.

Cruz De Jong led the Braves with 73, followed by Max Anderson at 75, Brady Boulton at 83, and Jack Erselius at 86.

Marion won the 18-hole tournament with a score of 305.
