The Seaside boys golf team battled windy conditions to take home first place at The Dalles Invitational.

The Seagulls scored a 350 to win convincingly over Goldendale, Estacada, The Dalles and Gladstone. Goldendsale finished a distant second with a 400, Estacada was third with a 410, The Dalles were fourth with a score of 434 and Molalla finished with a 466.

Xanh Quang took home the individual title with a 74. Freshman Will Haag was the second scorer as he shot an 83, Landon Nofield shot a 94, Dexter Jenks shot a 99 and Gunner Norman shot a 100 as the Gulls fifth player.

Head Coach Jim Poetsch said The Dalles is always a good early run for the golfers due to the elements. He also had high praise for his freshman golfer.

“The Dalles is always a great test of golf and the wind really made the course difficult,” Poetsch said in a press release. “Xanh shot a great round of golf, topping it off with a chip in birdie on the final hole, a 413 yard, uphill straight into the wind, par four. Will also had a good round of golf, recording 10 pars on the day.

“He is going to be a really good player for us over the next four years. We’ve got about five other guys who are on the cusp of shooting some really good scores. Once a couple of them get over the hump, we will start shooting some really low scores.”

Next up for the Seagulls is a trip to Pumpkin Ridge for the Banks Invitational on Thursday, April 2.
