A team total of 367 was good enough for second place as the Bottineau Braves golf team opened their season in Rugby last Tuesday.

Each team has six golfers of which the top four finishers of those six are combined to form the team’s score.

The two other golfers for Bottineau were Jesse Klebe with a 111 and Philip Neubauer, who finished with 114.

Jack McClintock of host Rugby was the medalist at the meet with a one over par 73. Nick Myhre from Northern Lights took second with a 78 and Kalan Elm of Bishop Ryan had an 81, which put him in third place.

Host Rugby won the meet with a team score of 332. Northern Lights finished one stroke behind Bottineau with a 368 to finish in third place. Velva took fourth at 372, and Harvey-Wells County stroked a team total 374 to round out the top five.
