The Tucumcari boys golf team took a full contingent to a five-team tournament Thursday at the Lovington Invitational.
Though the Rattlers finished fifth with a score of 539, coach Justin Garcia said he saw “tons of improvement” compared to the previous time Tucumcari’s full team competed earlier this month at Roswell.
Host Lovington won Thursday’s meet with a team score of 324 on the par-71 Lovington Country Club course. Other schools competing were Artesia, Clovis and Carlsbad.
Kayden Brown was the Rattlers’ top golfer, shooting 118. Dylan Owen shot 124, Taylor Rich 144 and Marcus Lopez 153.
The Rattlers’ next meet was scheduled for Tuesday at the Clovis Christian Conflict at the Colonial Park Golf Course in Clovis. That event was past the Quay County Sun’s deadline; it will be reported in the next edition.
