Lasso leads Queens with a 139
CHARLOTTE, N.C.- Ben Lasso (Falls Church, Va., Heritage Academy) led the Royals to a seventh place finish out of the 16 team field at the State Farm-Lake Invitational hosted by Clayton State at Crystal Lake Golf and Country Club. Lasso shot a 68 during the second round to finish with a 139 during the shortened tournament.
Spearheaded by a stellar final round, 24th-ranked Newberry came away as the overall team champion Tuesday. The tournament was reduced from 54 holes to 36 holes due to the heavy rains and flooding that blanked the metro Atlanta area on Monday evening.
Lasso finished tied for fifth, a 13 spot improvement from his first round. Behind Lass was Braeden Cryderman (Huntsville, Ontario, St. Dominic's) with a four under for the tournament, 70-70-140, for eighth place. The two remaining Queens player, Robert Andrew Hodge (Hebron, Ky., Conner) and Pureum Lee (North Vancouver, B.C., Canada, Handsworth Secondary) tied for 54th, respectively. Mike Markiewicz (Chicago, Ill., Knoxville Catholic)withdrew from the tournament.
The Royals will close out the fall season in October when they host the Queens Invitational at TPC Sawgrass.
