CLARKSTON, WA – The men of LC State Golf dominated the course from start to finish to open up The Warrior Spring Classic at Red Wolf Golf Club on Monday. With five Warriors playing their third straight day of golf, the entire roster flexed its depth with seven players in the top 10. The LC State A team sits in first place with the B team in second. Kye Krall leads the way after the best outing of his career.
The LC State A team of Luke West, Adam Lovatt, Andrea Artusini, Sondre Andresen and Lucas Ortega are 15-under after the first two rounds and hold an 11-stroke lead over the Warrior B team heading into the final round.
“Exciting day for both teams,” coach Zach Anderson said. “Lots of under-par rounds for the men. It was really cool to see the joy they played with. Several personal best college scores were shot today. Excited to see what tomorrow brings.”

His second round total ties Krall for the lowest of the tournament so far, and included two eagles and four birdies.
