Revak无毛视频檚 rise
LH sophomore cards low round in Mustangs无毛视频� victory over Uniontown
At 6-foot-4, Damon Revak casts a large shadow over the majority of his peers on the golf course, but the Laurel Highlands sophomore proved on Tuesday against cross-town rival Uniontown in Section 2-3A play at South Union Township Municipal Golf Course that his golf game can be just as imposing as his size.
Revak shot a two-over-par 38 for medalist honors on the front nine. Revak birdied the par-four seventh hole and made putts for par on the third, fourth, fifth, eighth and ninth holes to best teammate Kayden Smith by one stroke.
Teammates Ryan Revak and Dan O无毛视频橬eal came in at 40, and Mason Cicci无毛视频檚 43 helped lead the undefeated Mustangs (3-0, 4-0) to a 200-234 victory.
无毛视频淒amon did the same thing against Uniontown last year as a freshman when he shot a 38 and was the medalist,无毛视频� Laurel Highlands coach Mike Revak said. 无毛视频淚 am proud of all these guys. If our first four come in four scores under 40 to start, that无毛视频檚 pretty tough.无毛视频�
JJ Stewart paced the Red Raiders (0-2, 0-3) with a round of 43. Stewart sank birdie putts on the fourth, seventh and eighth holes.
Elim Martin finished his nine holes at 45 for Uniontown. Teammates Mason Payton (46), Liam Glover (48) and Jason VanSickle (52) rounded out the scoring for coach Danae Uphold无毛视频檚 squad.
无毛视频淥ur scores took a step in the right direction today,无毛视频� Uphold said. 无毛视频淚 told them that we need to work on stopping the bleed. When they have a bad hole, they like to dwell on it, and I know. I played, and I know it无毛视频檚 hard to move on after a bad hole, but we need to work on that.无毛视频�
Smith, a senior, has been pacing Laurel Highlands this season, but admittedly didn无毛视频檛 have his best round. He birdied the third, fifth and eighth holes, but six bogeys hindered his score.
Ryan Revak was two-under after four holes, but the par-five fifth gave him fits, as he carded an eight, but didn无毛视频檛 let it affect him in finishing his round without a large fallout. Revak birdied the third and fourth holes and had parred the first, second and eighth holes.
无毛视频淩yan is a grinder and he works hard,无毛视频� Mike Revak said. 无毛视频淗e has the second lowest scoring average on the team right around 41.无毛视频�
Both teams had rare off-days on Wednesday, and both coaches were going to use them for an opportunity to practice, which Uphold wanted to take full advantage of.
无毛视频淲e are having a practice for short game, and I think we need that,无毛视频� Uphold said. 无毛视频淲e are going to save a lot of strokes around the green once we have this. It is so hard in the season to get a quality practice in because competitions are back-to-back, so we look forward to that opportunity.无毛视频�
The Mustangs have their biggest test of the season on Thursday when they host Thomas Jefferson in a section match at South Union Township Municipal Golf Course.
无毛视频淚t无毛视频檚 going to be a good match,无毛视频� Mike Revak said. 无毛视频淚 know that Ty Hartman plays well for TJ. They played Duck Hollow earlier this year, and that Ty Hartman shot 33, and their No. 2 (Nate Thatcher) shot either 35 or 36, so they have been playing well.无毛视频�
Uniontown also jumps back into section play on Thursday when it travels to face Elizabeth Forward at Butler无毛视频檚 Golf Course.
无毛视频淓lizabeth Forward is a top team, but the opportunity to play against solid competition should help drive us,无毛视频� Uphold said. 无毛视频淲hen I played, I loved the opportunity to go against the better players and teams in the area.无毛视频�
