Northport boys golf continues to county
The Northport boys golf team’s wildly successful regular season campaign came to a close on Thursday, Oct. 13, at Indian Hills, as they trounced Smithtown West, 9-0, and in doing so, took a share of the League III title.
Sophomores Brodie Douglas and Jack Trizzino led the Tigers with 2-over 38s as the Tigers shot a season-low of 210 on this particular course, despite misty and windy conditions.
“We are playing well as a team,” said Head Coach Brian Sundberg. “I hope it carries over to the Counties.”
Douglas, paired with his brother and team captain Paddy, made a spectacular chip on the undulating and difficult third hole that landed a foot away from the cup. He tapped in for par, as most of his fellow golfers were taking fives, sixes and sevens on this hole.
“I think that hole helped me settle into the round,” Brodie said. “It was definitely a great par.”
“It feels amazing to be league champs,” Brodie added. “We have worked so hard for it as a team this year and the work has paid off.”
