OSAA State Golf Tournament Monday, May 12, 2008

The best high school golfers in Oregon took to the links today in pursuit of individual and team state titles. At the Trysting Tree Golf Club in Corvallis, Wilsonville leads by three strokes over Bend after the first day of the two-day, class 5A tournament. Bend's Andrew Vijarro had the best individual round with 70 (-2).

Full results from the tournaments are available here.

I intended to post some photos from my trip to Ohio today, but I left them at home in the brief visit I paid there last night, so they'll have to wait for another day. Needless to say, it was a bit of an adventure. I'm here in Corvallis tonight (it was cheaper and quicker to get a hotel here than drive home tonight and back again tomorrow). One more day of golf tomorrow, then it's home for 48+ hours!
