Nice touch
Wynford\u2019s Caroline Sheldon chips from just off the green toward the pin on No. 18 on Monday at Heatherwoode Golf Club. She led the Royals and was tied for 18th after one day with a round of 82.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\nwe\u2019ve seen the entire year,\u201d Wynford coach Sean Weisenauer said. \u201cThe scores
\nwere a lot higher, but just being here is definitely a special moment for all
\nthe kids.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nhas her in 18th place individually.<\/p>\n
\ngreat holes, and we all had not great holes, but we came through strong and had
\ngreat mindsets.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nportion of the course, the Royals were plagued by a few really bad holes that
\ninflated their scores.<\/p>\n
\nhole, the par-5 No. 11. She settled in to still shoot a 49 and then carded a 48
\non the back nine for a 97.<\/p>\n
\nWeisenauer said. \u201cTheir second nine, they kind of put it past them and gave it
\ntheir best effort and did what they could.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nRidge carding a birdie on No. 13. She had a perfect drive to the middle of the
\nfairway and then put her next shot on the green before putting in a
\nmedium-length putt.<\/p>\n
\nconsistently with a 49 on the back nine and then a 48 on the front.<\/p>\n
\nhere for the experience, wasn\u2019t really worried about getting a good score but
\njust playing hard and staying in a right mental state.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nfound trouble on a couple of holes that inflated their scores. Johnson had
\nback-to-back holes of 13 and 9 on Nos. 14 and 15 on her way to a 60, but she
\nimproved on the back nine with a 54 for a 114 total.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dailychiefunion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Maggie-Ridge-putt-10.jpg\")
On the way<\/strong>
Wynford\u2019s Maggie Ridge sends a putt toward the hole on No. 17 on Monday at Heatherwoode Golf Club. Ridge had one birdie on the day and finished with a 97 in the first round of the state tournament.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\nstart with an 8 on her first hole. She also took a 9 on No. 6 and finished her
\nround at 115.<\/p>\n
\ntwo kids having one bad hole and that kind of made their score go a little bit
\nhigher, but the rest of the way, they played pretty well considering how tough
\nthe course is.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nclosed out the day for the Royals with a birdie on No. 9, the only birdie they
\nmanaged besides Ridge\u2019s early one.<\/p>\n
\nof the first Wynford team at state, no matter how the team finishes.<\/p>\n
\ngoing to win it, but that\u2019s fine because we\u2019re all here with each other. My
\nbest friends are here with me. We get to stay overnight two nights with each
\nother, and that\u2019s a great experience for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nthe first day with a 317. Madeira was second at 327, with Bishop Fenwick in
\nthird place at 343.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dailychiefunion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Willa-Johnson-fairway-10.jpg\")

\nback of sixth-place Van Buren, with fellow Northwest District qualifiers
\nWauseon and Archbold also in between.<\/p>\n
\ncompete with the teams in our district and even just compete with everybody
\nelse. The teams here are solid teams. Just to come here to compete is a goal we
\nhad.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nand Madeira\u2019s Ellie Hartung.<\/p>\n

\nbut also just play smarter in general,\u201d Ridge said.<\/p>\n
\nthe course in the second round.<\/p>\n
\npreviously,\u201d she said. \u201cIf you go into this course blindly, it\u2019s not going to
\nbe your greatest round because there\u2019s so many hazards and everything, so
\nthat\u2019s where you have to know the course and play it a couple times.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dailychiefunion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Megan-Young-tee-18-348x535.jpg\")
Challenging course<\/strong>
Wynford\u2019s Megan Young hits her tee shot on No. 9 on Monday in the girls Division\u2008II state golf tournament at Heatherwoode Golf Club. A couple of bad holes led her to shoot 115.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\npleasant. While Monday\u2019s conditions were dry and hot for early October, with
\ntemperatures well into the 80s, the forecast for the second day is for
\ntemperatures about 10 degrees cooler with rain, including possible
\nthunderstorms.<\/p>\n
\nconditions and performed very well, so Weisenauer said his team will not be
\nbothered by wet weather if that is what they get.<\/p>\n
\nexperience.<\/p>\n
\na couple days just to set in. Even when we got down here, just sitting in the
\nhotel, I was like, \u2018We\u2019re here at state. This is our first time we can play 36
\nholes and just go out and play.\u2019 We have everything to gain and nothing to lose
\nat this point, so just enjoy the moment, enjoy the now. It\u2019s awesome seeing all
