The Lexington boys golf team entered the Class 5A tournament on its home course the Country Club of Lexington with momentum.
A week earlier, the Wildcats captured the Lower State championship at Wescott Plantation in Summerville. In high school golf, 5 players comprise the team and the best 4 scores totaled represent the teams score. In golf, low scores wins. 
Lexington’s Dillon Hite, Jackson Doar, and Maverick Mullins all places in the top 20 with Hite placing 3rd with an even par 72. 
At the high school championships, Lexington finished in the Top 5 standings. 
The Wildcats had a 2-day score of 621, tying for 4th with Spartanburg and finishing behind champion Rock Hill and Mauldin and Dorman (who tied for 2nd place). 
Chapin finished in 13th place, while River Bluff placed 16th. 
In local college, amateur and professional golf news, University of South Carolina junior Caleb Proveaux of Lexington, who is competing this week at NCAA Regionals, made it through local U.S. Open qualifier at Columbia Country Club last Thursday by shooting 68. 
Proveaux has got an interesting situation because if the Gamecock golf team makes it to the NCAA Finals, he cannot participate with Zach McLain in the USGA 4-Ball in a couple of weeks. 
“I don’t think I have the option of finding a new partner for the USGA 4-Ball,”  commented McLean. 
Proveaux and McLain shot 60 to win a qualifier back in the fall. Proveaux will still have a shot at playing in this year’s U.S. Open at Pebble Beach if he makes it through the sectional US Open qualifier next month.
