Prep Golf Roundup: Willmar Cardinals get to play on The Classic Course at Madden's Resort

May 13—BRAINERD — The Moorhead boys golf team, led by Ian Simonich's 69, shot a 307 to take first place in the Brainerd Invitational on The Classic Course at Madden's Resort on Wednesday

Willmar took eighth in the 12-team field with a 357.

"The boys got to experience a beautiful golf course today, but at the same time, a very challenging course," Willmar head coach Joe Kuehn said. "In order to put a good score together today, you had to be in the fairway and had to be very good on the greens.

Every hole had some sort of penalty hazard. The greens were always surrounded by large, deep bunkers."

Joe Wisocki led the Cardinals with an 81, good for 13th place.

Willmar's next meet is at 1 p.m. Monday at the Territory Golf Club in St. Cloud. It's a Central Lakes Conference meet.
