OCHSNER HEALTH LHSAA STATE GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS

at Cane Row Golf & Turf Club (6,291 yards, par 72), New Iberia, La.

NEW IBERIA – St. Thomas More won its second team title in the last three years and Teurlings Catholic’s Dax Reaux claimed individual medalist honors here Tuesday in Division II boys competition at the Ochsner Health LHSAA State Golf Championships.

The Cougars posted a two-round 296-287–583 during Tuesday’s 36-hole competition and finished 17 strokes ahead of crosstown rival Teurlings to claim team honors, after winning the title in 2022 and finishing as runner-up last year. STM had three players finish in the top eight in taking the team title.

Teurlings finished second with a 304-296—600 score, while defending champion St. Louis finished third at 607 and St. Charles was fourth at 626.

Reaux followed an opening round 73 with a six-under-par 66 in the afternoon round over the 6,291-yard par-72 Cane Row Golf & Turf Club, carding nine birdies including six in a row from the fourth through the ninth holes. His two-round 139 score was the only sub-par score of the tournament and put him five shots ahead of teammate Cooper Edney and St. Thomas More’s Thomas Oubre, both of whom shot even-par 144. STM’s Jude Bourque was one more stroke back in fourth place at 145 while Kye Hands led St. Louis in fifth place at 146.

CARENCRO – Noah Chauvin of Ascension Episcopal had nine birdies on the way to a course-record nine-under-par 63 here Tuesday, grabbing the individual title by a 12-stroke margin and leading the Blue Gators to their sixth straight Division III boys title at the Ochsner Health LHSAA State Golf Championships.

Chauvin posted a 32-31—63 score, tying the lowest 18-hole score in any division since the Acadiana area began hosting the state event in 2015. He had carded a six-under 66 in Tuesday’s opening round of the 36-hole day in Division III, and finished with a two-round 15-under-par 129 total.

His efforts helped Ascension Episcopal post a two-round three-over 579 score and take the team title by a narrow three-stroke margin over Loyola Prep (582), with those two teams both finishing more than 50 strokes ahead of the rest of the field over the 6,536-yard par-72 The Farm d’Allie layout.

Neil Phillips of Isidore Newman was the individual runner-up at 68-73—141, while Charlie Bell and Connor Cassano of Loyola Prep tied for third with matching 73-69—142 scores. Ben Blanco of Ascension Episcopal was the only other golfer to break par with a 143 total for fifth place.

Trailing Ascension Episcopal in the team rankings were Loyola Prep, Parkview Baptist in third at 637 and Isidore Newman in fourth place at 644.

LAFAYETTE – Byrd and St. Paul’s are in a tie for the team lead and Kyle Traub of Brother Martin posted the day’s low individual round here Tuesday in Division I Boys competition at the Ochsner Health LHSAA State Golf Championship.

Byrd and St. Paul both shot one-over-par 289 in the opening round, and both lead Benton and Catholic-Baton Rouge by two shots in one of the closest team races in the nine years that the Acadiana area has hosted the state tournaments. Brother Martin is in fifth place at 294 and Mandeville is sixth at 296, meaning that six teams are within seven shots heading into Wednesday’s final round over the 6,348-yard par-72 The Wetlands course.

Traub posted six birdies and an eagle on the par-five ninth hole for a 32-33—65 score, with his only bogey coming at the par-four 15^th. He holds a four-shot lead over Bennett LaNasa of St. Paul’s and Duke Nitcher of Jesuit, who both carded a three-under 69 to tie for second place and rank as the only other players shooting under 70.

Cason Toms of Benton, Preston Paulk of Northshore and Grant Reagan of Byrd are all one more shot back at 70 and six players are at 71, with 12 players breaking par on the first day.

The final round is scheduled for noon Wednesday.

LAFAYETTE – Quitman put three individuals in the top 11 and used that balance to take the first-round team lead Tuesday in the opening round of Boys Division IV competition at the Ochsner Health LHSAA State High School Golf Championships.

Eli Walker, last year’s third-place finisher, posted a three-under-par 69 to stand third individually, while Quitman also got 81 scores from Pete Simonelli and Noah Leach to help post a team 318 score. That was good enough for a nine-stroke lead over Ouachita Christian going into Wednesday’s final round over the 6,348-yard par-72 The Wetlands golf course.

Local squads Vermilion Catholic and defending team champion Episcopal of Acadiana stood third and fourth at 335 and 336 respectively in the first round.

Defending individual champion Logan Heltz of Christ Episcopal carded a five-under 31 on the back side at The Wetlands and holds the individual lead with a five-under-par 67 entering the final round. He leads last year’s runner-up, Cole Haase of Riverside (34-34—68) by one shot, with Walker standing third and Silas Lovett of Ouachita Christian fourth at two-under 70.

Wednesday’s final round will begin at 8 a.m. over The Wetlands course.

YOUNGSVILLE – Sophia Macias of Episcopal jumped out to a 12-shot lead in the individual rankings and Ascension Christian grabbed the team lead here Tuesday in the opening round of Girls Division II play in the Ochsner Health LHSAA State Golf Championships.

Macias had five birdies, four on par-five holes, and posted a 36-39—75 score over the 5,679-yard par-74 Les Vieux Chenes course. She was the only individual to break 80 in Division II, with Ali Evans of Westlake at 43-44—87 her closest competitor in the race for individual medalist honors.

Ascension Christian had two of the top seven individual scores, with Peyton Flynn in fifth place at 90 and Nicasia Chase in seventh at 93, and their 183 team score was good for an eight-stroke advantage over Westlake (191) heading into Tuesday’s final round.

The final round is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Wednesday.
