Sydney Walsh, who qualified for the Division 3 MHSAA Finals a week ago at the Grosse Ile regional with a score of 95, headed for Ferris State University in Big Rapids the past weekend to battle the top golfers in the state at Katke Golf Course in a two day, 36-hole event. Poor weather conditions marred the event, as rain on Friday delayed the round and soaked the golf course, challenging the golfers throughout the weekend. Walsh started the tournament with a Friday score of 103 and finished the tournament on Saturday with a 107 to finish in a tie for 65th for the championship. The highlight of the tournament for Walsh was a birdie 2 on the Friday at the par 3 17th hole. Individually senior Halle Heineman from Detroit Country Day won the title of State Champion, shooting an impressive 14 over par 158 which included an opening round 76. In the team competition, NorthPointe Christian won the title in dominate fashion with a score of 721, 37 shots ahead of 2nd place Montague who registered a score of 758 and 3rd place Lansing Catholic Central who posted a score 762. The field consisted of 103 of the state’s top golfers.
