HURON — A tough course and tough conditions didn’t make it easy for Watertown High School’s girls golf team on Thursday in the Huron Invite at the Broadland Creek Golf Course.

The Arrows shot 376 and finished eight out of nine teams. Aberdeen Central won the meet with a score of 337.

“We’re disappointed with our scores today, but it was a tough course and tough conditions,” said Watertown head coach Zach Wevik. “It rained a majority of the round and that made things difficult.”

Emily Kolb of Sioux Falls O’Gorman shot a 2-over 74 to win medalist honors by two shots over Mattie Weidenbach and Reese Jansa of Harrisburg.

Riley Zebroski tied for eighth with an 83 to lead Watertown.

The Arrows are slated to compete Friday in the Yankton Invite and will head to the Mitchell Invite next Friday at the Lakeview Municipal Golf Course.
