Whitefish's Kahle wins Class A state golf title
LAUREL — Whitefish’s Cameron Kahle won a three-hole playoff by shooting par on the third hole at the State A Golf Tournament at Laurel Golf Club in Laurel on Friday.
Kahle defeated Laurel’s Carson Hackmann, who was tied for third place with Kahle after Day 1 of the tournament. Both shot low rounds of 77 on Day 2, along with Laurel’s Nick Pasquarello.
A 12-foot birdie on No. 17 and an eagle on 18 by Kahle forced extra holes.
In sudden death, Kahle and Hackmann opened with pars on No. 10. On 18, Kahle could have won with a 15-foot birdie but missed. Play shifted back to No. 10 where Hackmann knocked a drive into the creek and double-bogeyed on a par-5. Kahle’s par sealed his victory.
Polson’s Trey Kelley tied for ninth place.
Andrew Brozek and Johnny Nix of Whitefish were 13th and 17th respectively.
Hannah Adams of Laurel took the girls’ state title with sister Haylee at second.
Macee Greenwood of Corvallis, who led after Day 1, finished one stroke behind Haylee Adams, in third place.
Polson’s Ellie Thiel tied for eighth.
Whitefish’s Megan Archibald, the school’s highest finisher, tied for 11th place. Ella Shaw was 17th.
Laurel swept the boys and girls team titles. The boys edged out Butte Central, who led after the first day.
The Whitefish girls finished in second place and the boys fourth. Polson girls were sixth.
