Byrd’s Moss, Barbe prove too much to overcome in Division I girls golf finals

YOUNGSVILLE – First-day leader Sydney Moss of C.E. Byrd turned in the day’s low round by five shots and used that effort to roll to the individual crown, while Barbe took the girls Division I team title here Tuesday in the Allstate Sugar Bowl LHSAA State Golf Championships.

Moss birdied three of her final four holes to finish at two-under 72 over the 5,679-yard par-74 Les Vieux Chenes layout. Paired with her opening-round 75 on Monday, Moss finished at one-under 147 and seven strokes ahead of her nearest competition.

Sarah Meral of St. Scholastica finished as runner-up for the second straight year in matching 77-77—154 scores, while Blair McKenzie of Mandeville was another four shots back in third place at 158.

Isabella Bradley of Barbe finished fourth at 79-85—164, and paired with the 91-86—177 score of teammate Isabella Callaba to give Barbe an easy win in the team title chase. The Buccaneers’ winning 341 total was 29 strokes better than runner-up Dutchtown, which finished at 370 and won a close battle for runner-up honors with Mt. Carmel (371), Sulphur (373) and St. Scholastica (379).

Hannah Pitre led Dutchtown’s second-place effort with a sixth-place finish at 84-83—167 while Halle Plaisance of Central Lafourche finished seventh at 168.
