PREP ROUNDUP | Holmen golf shoots 296 to win regional

May 28--Onalaska High junior Bennett Hutson was on, and so was everyone playing for Holmen in a WIAA Division 1 boys golf regional at Forest Hills Golf Club on Tuesday.

Hutson bogeyed just one hole and carded a 3-under-par 68 to beat everyone, and the Vikings used some consistency for a team score of 296 to win the team competition and advance to the Baraboo sectional next week.

Junior Tyler Church shot a 1-under 70 to tie Tomah's Matt Stees for second place and lead Holmen, which beat the second-place Hilltoppers by five shots and also received a 73 from Drew Schroeder, a 74 from Connor Frawley and a 79 from Eric Olson.

Church had five birdies and four bogeys during his round and shot a 1-under 34 on the front nine.

Hutson only bogeyed the par 1st and had four birdies in his round. He beat par on Nos. 6, 13, 17 and 18 and played the three par-5s and 2-under while shooting a 3-under 33 on the back nine.

Tomah also qualified for the sectional with a third-place finish (308), and Central sophomore Sam Grode tied for 13th with a 79 and qualified individually.
