Fulton places second at New Bloomfield quad

Junior Jake Hammerstone's 45 sparked the Hornets to a runner-up showing on Monday at Meadow Lakes Country Club.

Fulton logged a 195 to finish behind Southern Boone (179). Linn posted a 230 to come in third, while host New Bloomfield did not field enough golfers for a team score.

Southern Boone's Gannon Kesterson medaled with a low score of 38.

Senior Matt Henry and junior Gage Oestreich notched matching 48s for the Hornets, while senior Austin Wilson added a 54.

"We obviously still have some room for improvement," Fulton head coach Pat Kelley said. "I think Jake shot pretty well for the first time seeing Meadow Lake.

"We still have to, somehow, some way, find some consistency."

Both the Hornets and New Bloomfield will play at the Southern Boone Invitational at 9 a.m. Wednesday at Eagle Knoll Golf Club.
