The Emporia Golf Course hosted the Kansas Junior Optimist qualifying tournament Friday, and six Emporians were in the field — all on the boys side.
In the boys 16-18 division, Brooks Sauder shot a 2-over 73 and Caden Massey had a 3-over 74.
In the boys 14-15 division, Hudson Sauder had a 12-over 83. He called his round “solid.”
Will Walker shot an 89.
Jared Johnson had a 104, and he had a blunt assessment of how things went and why.
Chesney Erkel was in the boys 10-11 flight. He had a 133, but he says he had a good time.
Dante Nichols won the boys 16-18 division with a 67. Tommy McDowell had a 71 to win the 14-15 division. Cale Anshutz had a 114 to win the 12-13 division. Charles Rome shot a 77 to win the boys 10-11 division.
