W-SR's Bodensteiner ties for 22nd at 3A state golf tourney

Bodensteiner carded a 41-over-par 185 during the two-day competition, which began Tuesday. She sank six pars and birdied on No. 17 on Tuesday and made five pars Wednesday.

Bodensteiner became the first W-SR state qualifier since Emma Robson placed 27th in 2018.

“It was a very challenging course, but Brenna did a great job of finding a way to make a good score,” W-SR coach EaVon Woodin said.

“It was very much a course that need good course management of where to hit each shot. The greens were fairly big but pin placements were made it hard to one or two putt.

“She hit the ball very well throughout both days. I think it was a great experience for her and will benefit from it in her future meets.”
