CHANUTE — Perhaps “struggling” and “terrible” is the way to go on the golf course nowadays.
Yates Center High’s Marlana Buchanan shot a career-best 53 Monday at a tournament in Chanute, good enough to take 17th overall.
“Marlana told me she was struggling and doing terrible every time I talked with her,” Yates Center coach Kevin Barnes said.
“Yet she shot a career low. I think she was saying that because she sees areas she can improve on.”
Two other golfers competed for the Wildcats. MaKayla Jones shot a 74 to finish in 61st. Braeden Burright shot a 76 to tie for 62nd.
“This was Braeden’s first varsity tournament, and she shot the same score she did at the Girard JV meet last week,” Barnes said. “MaKayla struggled off the tee, even using her long irons.”
