Through nine holes at the state sectional golf tournament at Rivercut, Republic’s Tristan Ollar had himself in position to keep his season alive. Then came the rain.
After shooting a 40 through his first nine holes, Ollar struggled during a brief stretch of windy, rainy weather around mid-day. Three straight bogeys, followed by a double bogey, ended up making the difference. Ollar finished with an 83 — missing the cut by just one stroke and failing to qualify for the state tournament.
Ollar turned in the best score of three Tigers at Rivercut Monday. Mitch Coiner shot a 95 and Austin Melton shot a 97.
The tournament ends the golf season for the Tigers, who are without a state qualifier for a second season in a row.
