The United South Central boys’ golf team competed in the 2022 Minnesota Class A Golf Tournament on Wednesday and Thursday at Pebble Creek Golf Course in Becker.

The first day was a very hot, windy day, which made the greens very, very fast — much faster than the USC golfers are used to playing on — and their scores were a bit higher than were predicted.  At the end of Day 1, the Rebels shot 362 as a team, and found themselves in seventh place.

Day 2 was cool with overcast skies and intermittent rain.  The Rebels played much better under those conditions.  Their team score on Day 2 was 341 — 21 strokes better than the day before.
