TORRINGTON – Eastern Wyoming College’s Leander Suttka tied for second place with a 1-under-par in the Lancers home tournament held at the Cottonwood at Torrington Golf Course last Wednesday and Thursday.
Suttka finished in a four-way tie with McCook Community College’s Ethan Gough, Jordan Bingham and Cade Cryer. Northeastern Junior College’s Jackson Rottschafer won the tournament, shooting 2-under-par.
“It was great to see Leander play well, especially because it was his birthday,” EWC coach Zach Smith said.
Two other Lancers, George Cordall and Noah Taylor, finished in the top 10. Cordall finished even in a tie for sixth place, while Taylor finished 3-over-par in ninth place.
Other Lancers competing in their home tournament included Oscar Behle, Andrew Stannard and Tyler Fraser.
“It’s always great to play on your home course, especially with some good weather for the most part,” Smith said. “It’s tough to fall short at home, but McCook has played very well all spring.”
McCook Community College won the team honors with a 9-under-par tournament, followed by EWC, who was 7-over-par. Northeastern Junior College finished third followed by Otero College, Central Wyoming College and Lamar Community College.
Cordall, Suttka and Taylor will get to extend their golf seasons by a few weeks after qualifying for the NJCAA National Tournament after placing in the top 10 in the final Region IX standings. Cordall is ranked second, with Suttka in ninth and Taylor in tenth. McCook Community College’s Ethan Gough is the league’s top ranked golfer.
“The guys and I are looking forward to competing in the NJCAA National Championship Tournament May 16-19 in Newton, Kansas,” Smith said.
