Despite rainy conditions, Blacksburg’s Jake Mondy carded a 68 Tuesday afternoon at Hunting Hills Country Club, and the under-par round not only earned medalist honors, but carried the Bruins (301) to a 4-shot team victory over Cave Spring (305). It was the River Ridge tournament opener, which rotates matches among the home courses of the six teams. The best four scores of six entrants by each team count as the total team score.
Salem took third place at 313, while Hidden Valley came in fourth at 320. Drew Lagan led Cave Spring with a 73, good for second in the individual race. Drew Board (74), Nick Brediger (77) and Eric Hart (81) rounded out the Knight’s top-four. Salem was led by Andrew Butts (76) , while Parker Davis and Garrett Sweeney each fired 79. Hidden Valley’s Alex Taylor carded a 77, with Brad Elder second for the Titans at 79.
