Struggling Cougar golfers beat O-G

Van Wert golf news

It wasn’t pretty, but the Van Wert Cougar golfers downed a struggling Ottawa-Glandorf team 180-190 in their 2013 Western Buckeye League opener on Monday.

Van Wert has been plagued with inconsistency all year long and Monday was no different.

“The team score of 180 at home is not the kind of score that will get us very far as a team,” said Van Wert Coach Jeff Hood. “I know we can do better.”

The Cougars were led by Adam Jurczyk’s 42, while Lucas Etzler added a 43, Justin Price shot a 47, Brandon Hernandez a 48, Alex Miller a 52 and Nick Etter carded a 55.

“It was nice to have Adam Jurczyk back in the lineup,” Hood added. “His 42 was big for us today.”

Medalist for the match was Carson Williams of O-G, who shot a very fine one-over-par 36.

With the win, Van Wert moves to 1-1 overall and 1-0 in the WBL, while the Titans are 0-2 and 0-1 in the league.

The Cougars return to action Wednesday afternoon at Elida for another league dual match-up.
