High school girls' golf: swings ahead of Aberdeen Central

Pierre placed three golfers among the top nine to win the team title at the Golden Eagle Invitational with a 334.

The host team, Aberdeen Central, finished just two strokes back at 336 on Tuesday at the meet at Lee Park Golf Course in Aberdeen. The Golden Eagles had four golfers shoot the exact same score. Ashley Rook, Brianna Kuckelburg, Kayla Krueger and Amanda Tobin topped Central with identical 84s.

?It shows how balanced we are from top to bottom,? said Central girls' golf coach Kim Zimmerman. ?Some teams rely on one or two players to go low for them. Our team is made up of girls that might shoot in the 70s occasionally, but not consistently. We have to go out and put four good scores on the board.?

The medalist was Halliee Pieper of Watertown with a 75, followed by Hallie Getz of Pierre with a 77.

?It wasn't a huge meet or a big invitational, but it had quality teams and quality individuals. We hadn't competed for a week, so it was good to get out and play,? said Zimmerman.

The last meet for the Golden Eagles was the Eastern South Dakota Conference meet.

?I thought we regrouped real well after a disappointing ESD in Watertown,? said Zimmerman. ?It was good to get back on course and play on a nice day. Plus, it's not like we have a lot of home events, so it's nice to play on your home course.?

The Aberdeen Central girls' golf squad will wrap up the 2012 season at the State AA Golf Tournament Monday and Tuesday at Elmwood Golf Course in Sioux Falls.
