Whitefish girls repeat, Billings Central takes boys title
SIDNEY -- Saturday was nearly a banner day for western Montana golf teams at the Class A State golf tournament, but as anybody who's ever watched a putt lip out knows nearly isn't good enough in golf.
Hamilton made up six strokes on Billings Central, but it wasn't enough. As the Broncs fell just short of repeating as the boys' team champion, the Whitefish girls padded their Day 1 lead and won their second state title in as many seasons.
Whitefish, which led by 24 strokes after Day 1, won its state record 18th state title by a 39-stroke margin over host Sidney.
Coral Schulz repeated as Class A champion, leading a host of Bulldogs who walked off the course with all-state honors. Katie Fyall improved her 2014 finish one by stroke, taking third and Hayley and Holly Hileman fishished tied for 14th.
Billings Central's Liam Clancy won boys' gold by five strokes over Hamilton's Max Toenjes.
Schulz led by six heading into the final round. She shot an 80 on Saturday and one stroke was trimmed off the lead by Butte Central's Tricia Joyce, who finished with a 79 -- the day's only sub-80 round.
Frenchtown was 54 strokes behind Sidney in third, the exact spot the Broncs finished last season. Dani Flynn, who rounded out the top 10 with a two-day total of 185, was the Broncs' lowest scorer.
Hamilton's Sydni Rose was sixth with a 180.
On the boys' side, four of Hamilton's five golfers shaved strokes off their Day 1 totals, including a 10-stroke difference for Connor Hawks, who finished far back in the pack.
Billings Central had three of its golfers card scores higher than they turned in on Friday, including two with a difference of 12 of more. The difference, however, wasn't enough.

Clancy fired a 74, one stroke better than the 75 that gave him a two-stroke advantage heading into the second day. Toenjes answered with a 76, vaulting him up two spots from his 2014 finish.
Two other Broncs finished with all-state honors; Josh Heath finished fifth and Blaine Wetzsteon closed his round in a four-way tie for 11th. Also in the pack were Whitefish's Cole Turgeon and Joey Walp.
Whitefish was third with a two-day total of 679.
Polson's Carson McDaniel was 15th, rounding out the all-state team.

SIDNEY — Tricia Joyce lived up to the billing.
The Butte Central freshman golfer placed second at the Class A State golf tournament, which concluded Saturday at the Sidney Country Club.
Joyce had the low round of the day Saturday, firing a 79 one day after an 82. Her 161 total was five shots behind Whitefish’s Coral Schulz, who followed a 76 with an 80 to defend her individual title.
Katie Fyall of Whitefish placed a distant third at 170.
Whitefish also defended its team title, winning with a 720 total. Sidney was a very distant second place at 759.
Billings Central won the boys title with a 659, beating second-place Hamilton by 12 shots.
Liam Clancy of Billings Central won the individual title after following a 75 with a 74 for a 149 total. Max Toenes of Hamilton took second at 154, followed by Tyrell Walter of Lewistown at 160.
Sophomore Tyge Yelenich led the Butte Central boys, who didn’t have enough golfers for a team score.
Yelenich followed an 86 with an 85 for a 171. He missed All-State recognition by four shots. The top 15 individuals take home that honor.
Senior Bryan Arnold shot a 103 for a 197, while classmate Tyler Kump hit a 101 for a 207.
Clancy leads Central to 6th state golf title
2015-10-03T20:15:00Z Clancy leads Central to 6th state golf titleGazette Staff The Billings Gazette
SIDNEY — What a difference a year makes.
The Billings Central Rams took advantage of a huge first-round lead to overcome a shaky start Saturday and earn the sixth boys’ golf championship in school history and first since 2003.
They were led by medalist Liam Clancy, who shot a 74 on Saturday to follow a first-round 75 and win by five strokes.
“We felt like we were in a pretty good position heading into (the final round),” said Central coach Mark Hutchinson. “However, we were in this position a year ago and I know they were having some butterflies and thoughts about not losing this lead even though it was so large.”
Last October, the Rams took a three-stroke lead into the final round only to see Hamilton out-shoot them by 13 on the second day and earn the state title.
“I knew we’d really have to play poorly not to win it after the way we played (Friday),” Hutchinson said. “With the conditions the way they were, the kids knew it would be a grind.
The Rams finished with a team score of 650, 12 strokes ahead of runner-up Hamilton. Whitefish was third with a team score of 679.
Clancy won by five strokes over Hamilton's Max Toenjes.
"Liam played outstanding all weekend," Hutchinson said. "I couldn't be happier for him. He deserved winning the individual championship and it's something he'll never forget."
Clancy certainly won't forget the shot he hit on the 17th hole Saturday.
After seeing his lead dwindle to two strokes, he eyed the flag 180 yards away.
"I just wanted to put a good stroke on it," Clancy said.

And that he did.
"It was the most flush 4-iron I've hit in my life," he said. "It's a really good feeling when you have a two-foot putt for birdie."
Clancy tapped it in to all but clinch the state title. His lead went back to four strokes after a bogey by Toenjes.
"That shot was just a snippet of what he did all weekend," Hutchinson said. "He wasn't going to be beat."
On the girls side, Whitefish's Coral Schulz shot a 156 to cruise to the individual title and the Bulldogs scored a 39-stroke victory to earn the team crown ahead of Sidney (759) and Frenchtown (813).
Laurel's Morgan O'Neil finished fourth with a two-day total of 171. The Locomotives finished fourth with a team score of 830.
