  Speaker 1: This article is being read by an automated voice brought
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to you by Everlett Brennan. Stillwell successfully defended his individual
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: title at Monday's Straighter Invitational, claiming medalist honors for the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: second straight year with an event best to under par seventy,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: which was nice, he admitted, but it wasn't what the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Bulldogs senior ace was most excited about. I don't really
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: care about the individual thing as much. Stillwell said. It's nice.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Medalist is a nice label, but to beat Ottawa is
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: really nice. I can't remember the last time Strieter's done it.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: They've got a lot of solid golfers on their squad,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and there were a lot of solid golfers out here.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I was just playing pretty solid all around. I hit
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of fairways and a lot of grit, and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: obviously you have to roll some putts in and pudding
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: was probably the most solid part of my day, even
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: though I left a couple out there. Stillwell led a
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: six man Streeter High team that each shot in the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: seventies and placed in the top twelve on their home
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: course of the Eastwood karting a four man team two
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: hundred ninety four to run away with the title over
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: runner up and five time defending champion Ottawa's team three
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: hundred and six. It is Streeter's first time winning its
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: own invite since twenty eighteen. Fifth place individual Bryce Blakemore
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: seventy three, Rocko van Duzer seventy five, Jack Studnicky seventy six,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Joseph Gracco and Joe Studnicky seventy eight rounded out streeter scores.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: This is something we circle on our calendar every year.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Bulldog's coach Dusty Masley said, you want to win your
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: own invitational, you should play well on your course, and
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: our guys did that today. Our two freshmen played pretty well,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: our sophomore played pretty well, and Brennan I can't say
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: enough about his and Jack Studnikey's senior leadership. Ottawa had
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a two man tie for the team lead and third
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: place in the overall field, with James Threadgill losing a
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: scorecard playoff to teammate Briar Harris for the third place
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: medal after both finished with even par seventy two s.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: The thing that was working the most for me was
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: my driver. Threadgill said, I think I missed one fairway
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: today and it was the last one. I was piping
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: it every single hole. My pudding was amazing. There were
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: really just a couple iffy shots. But my driver today
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: was amazing. Today it wasn't a very good measuring stick
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: for us because Streeter beat us. If Streeter beats us,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: it's not a good day. But eventually we'll all play
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: well together. I'm hoping that can be around October postseason.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Ish Joshua Armstrong added a seventy seven and Jackson Knew
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: an eighty five to round out Ottawa's team score. Lasal
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Peru playd third in the seventeen field with a three
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five, led by aid to Choose two
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: over seventy four, followed by Gino Argibright seventy nine, Hunter
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Shubb eighty five and Henry Dutlinger eighty seven. I thought
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I was doing pretty good, Chu said. My putting on
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the back nine was way better than the front, so
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I think that's what helped me get a lot of
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: my strokes back. I think when I'm playing against better opponents,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I tend to play better too. Field Cress Senior Carter
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Senko put in the day's second lowest round, carting one
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: under seventy one to lead the Knights three hundred and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: thirty three to a fourth place finish, with teammate Drew
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Overacker seventy six, also shooting in the seventies. I just
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: worked a lot on my irons over the summer, got
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the driver down, Senko said. The only thing that sucks
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: right now is my pudding. But it's all right. Things
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: are going well, and today I was chipping well. I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: missed some greens here and there, but mostly I was
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: putting it a foot two feet from the hole and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: that kind of saved me. Newark plays sixth with its
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: team three hundred and sixty, Jimmy Cathy three and David
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Ulrich eighty six, bringing in the Norseman's top scores.
