Wauseon Defeats Delta and Swanton in Critical NWOAL Golf Tri-Match

https://photos.app.goo.gl/kYeffzjGK3TAgRsq9

The Wauseon Indians edged out both the Swanton Bulldogs and the Delta Panthers in the final regular season boys golf match on Monday afternoon at White Pines Golf Course.  The final match scores, however, were not decided until later in the week due to a protest logged by the Wauseon coaching staff against a ruling on a shot by a Swanton golfer.  After a thorough investigation, the protest was upheld, resulting in a disqualification of the Bulldog golfer for signing an inaccurate scorecard.

With the change in the final numbers, Wauseon was able to tie Swanton and Archbold with a 6-1 regular season record heading into the NWOAL Tournament on Friday morning.  Given that points scored in the regular season are added to points scored in the tournament, the final ruling had a significant impact on the order of finish for the NWOAL title.

Delta, the host of the tri-match finished with a 4-3 record.  Bulldog senior, Brady O’Shea fired a round of 40 to capture medalist honors.
