TROY — It was a good day for golf at Troy Country Club in the Troy Invitational, which Tippecanoe won with a score of 307. Sidney, Russia and Anna also competed; placing 5th, 6th and 10th respectively.

The Sidney Yellow Jackets finished in fifth place with their score of 328. Their scorers were CJ Goffena (80), Carter Wooddell (81), Brooks Taylor (81) and Jake Scully (86).

“I’m very happy with how we played today,” Yellow Jackets head coach Thomas Goffena said. “Our top four guys were all in the low 80’s, and that’s where we have to be.

“We just need to find a way to make the putts. We’re not making the 10 foot putts consistently, but the good thing about birdie putts is you usually have a tap in par.”

The Russia Raiders scored 333 with Braylon Cordonnier (79), Michael Voisard (83), Vince Borchers (83) and Grant Borchers (88).

“We’re not really happy with how we played today,” Russia head coach Paul Bremigan said. “We just got into a lot of trouble and didn’t hit it too straight.

“We’re not really familiar with this course so it’s a good eye opener for us. We start our County this week so we’ll be ready to go.”

The Anna Rockets finished with a final score of 364 and were led by Jose Pulfer (80), Josiah Richerds (89), Reece Pettit (95) with Evan Cain and Jacob Rister tied with 100.

Sidney is back in action on Thursday where they will be back at the Troy Country Club for a nine-hole match.

The Raiders are back on the course on Thursday as well where they will take on Fairlawn at home.

The Rockets will be at Shelby Oaks golf course on Tuesday battling Jackson Center and then will take on Russia on Friday again at Shelby Oaks.
