Ridgeline boys are 4A golf champs again | Sports
For the second time in four years the Ridgeline High boys golfers are Utah’s 4A state champions, edging Crimson Cliffs Thursday after a two-day tournament in the wind at Lakeside Golf Course in West Bountiful. Ridgeline won by two strokes. In the 2021 4A tournament at Birch Creek in Smithfield, Coach Sam Lindley’s Riverhawks also won in a close finish with Crimson Cliffs. The Riverhawks shot a 4-under 280 to take the lead in the the tournament’s first round Wednesday. In difficult conditions Thursday Ridgeline’s round of 8-over 292 was barely enough to beat the Mustangs. With rounds of 65 Wednesday and 69 Thursday Crimson Cliffs senior Dylan Winona’s 8-under 134 earned him medalist honors, beating Ridgeline freshman Beckham Skinner by four shots. Ridgeline sophomore Dallin Anderson and Crimson Cliffs senior Maverick Rhodes tied for third at even-par 142. While Ridgeline’s two youngest players led the way this week, the Riverhawks got solid play from Bryson Knowles (tied for 10th), Roman Johansen, Freddy Wayment and Jake Darley. Mountain Crest finished fifth in the team competition and Sky View was tenth. Other top 20 finishes include Miles Cromwell of Sky View who finished 10th, Stockton Archibald of Mountain Crest was 14th,
