The Rye Girls Golf team completed a blowout victory on Tuesday, April 28, taking down Pelham 247-295 and winning their seventh match of the year. The Garnets handled business as heavy favorites at Rye Golf Club, winning by nearly fifty strokes in the nine-hole match.
“Rye delivered a strong performance against Pelham,” Head Coach Rich Savage told MyRye.com. “Senior captain Phoebe Lee earned medalist honors… Elle Ridley, Anna Bancroft, Tori Hobbins, Sophia Echlov and Sophie Ehrlich also contributed solid scores for the Garnets.”
The starting six for Rye, which has been mostly consistent throughout the season, were all key parts of the winning effort on Tuesday. Lee shined the brightest to earn a medal as the best score among the twelve golfers on the two squads combined. Garnet starters averaged less than a 42, while each Pelican golfer averaged worse than a 49.
Rye (7-2) has won three consecutive matches since their loss to Scarsdale on April 17, and their busy schedule roars on on Thursday, April 30. The Garnets take on Ursuline back at Rye Golf Club at 4:00pm.
great work!
