Patriots claim Delaware County Cup

0

The Olentangy Liberty boys golf team captured yet another Delaware County Cup, winning the 30th edition with a 301 Thursday afternoon at Northstar.

Nick Dickens led the Patriots with a 74 — a mark just two strokes behind Delaware Hayes’ Mark Sulek, who earned medalist honors with a 72. Other contributors included Jack O’Donnell (75), Noah Wingart (76) and Carter Rutherford (76).

It was the fifth time in the last six seasons the Delaware County Cup, sponsored by First Commonwealth Bank, went home with Liberty.

“The guys are all playing really consistent right now,” Patriot coach Ryan Snivley said. “We have five quality scores all within a couple strokes of each other. I like their confidence heading into sectionals … we are looking to keep the momentum going.”

Olentangy Orange nabbed runner-up honors with a 317 while Hayes smoothed out the top three with a 325. Big Walnut (337), Olentangy Berlin (348), Olentangy (367) and Buckeye Valley (383) rounded out the scoring summary.
