Golf Finishes Third in State

GHSA Class AAAA State TournamentDollander opened with a birdie and then dialed in a 6-iron from 210 yards on the second hole to three-feet for an eagle. He made the turn in 33, but a pair of doubles on the back nine stopped him for posting the stellar round he was looking for.
"The score was better today, but obviously we didn't accomplish what we wanted to do," Dollander said. "There are positives and negatives, but this is the end of the season. We give God the glory no matter the outcome. We came in expected to win and there's always going to be added pressure there. We were prepping two weeks in advance and thinking 'We have to win state.' I think that showed in the first day, everybody was rattled and playing nervous.
Junior Jack Weeks came on strong with a 72 on Tuesday after shooting 77 in the opening round. He finished in a tie for eighth at 7-over par. Weeks eagled the par-5 first and birdied the second to help the Cadets get things going.
Senior Dane Chadwell shot 75 Tuesday and finished at 15-over par, while sophomore Alex Dao carded a 77 to finish at 12 over. Freshman Carson Hayes had a 78 to close the tourney at 15-over par.
"But we saw our young guys play well and contributed today. I think next year we'll be just as good, if not better and ready to come at it again."
The Cadets have four of their starting six coming back for next season, with Dollander and Weeks leading the way.
