Both Pierre Governors Nick Bothun and Sawyer Sonnenschein would finish inside the top five of the Junior Championship at the Bluffs Golf Course in Vermillion.
Overall, it was a three day event with a total of 54 holes played. Bothun would finish in fourth place shooting a 71, 76 and 72 to finish three over par for the tournament. Sonnenschein would finish in fifth, just two shots behind Bothun at five over par. Lincoln Houska would finish in 21st place and Jack Bartlett at 34th with totals of 235 and 244 over the three days. Luke Olson had shot a 76 on day one and 77 on day two, but had to withdraw after a club head broke off and sliced his finger requiring stiches.
Riley Christiansen of Sioux Falls would get the win over Hartford’s Taten Mauney as both would go four under par for the tournament, but it would be Christiansen who would win on the fifth playoff hole to claim the Junior Championship.
