LIVINGSTON — A scorecard playoff was all the kept Butte Central golfer Derek Ralph from winning the Livingston Invitational Golf tournament Friday.
Ralph fired a 5-over-par 77 at the Livingston Golf Course to tie Tyler Ferguson of Belgrade for first place in the Maroons’ second tournament of the season.
Ferguson, however, was named medalist by virtue of a scorecard playoff.
The two 77 topped a crowded leader board that saw one shot separate the top five golfers. Anaconda’s Caleb Stetzner and Zach Klonsinski of Belgrade all shot 78.
Belgrade won the team title with a 317, beating second place Anaconda by 13 shots. Bozeman’s junior varsity team was third at 325, followed by Lewistown at 340, Dillon at 353 and Butte Central at 365.
Cal Hollow added an 89 for BC. Jack Gallagher shot a 96.
Livingston’s Christal Tokasha won the girls’ medalist honors to help the Rangers win the team title with a 390. Anaconda placed second at 411, led by Ali Huber’s fifth-place 97.
The Maroons will host the Butte Central Invitational Monday at 9 a.m. at the Highland View Golf Course.
