Gallatin R-5 senior, Jett Simmons, finished second out of 32 golfers last week in the 2017 Missouri Junior Golf Match Play Tournament held at Eldon Country Club in Eldon, Missouri.
Simmons won four matches, advancing from the round of 32, before falling to Hank Lierz 3 and 2.
In match play, scoring is based on the number of holes won during a round, as opposed to the number of strokes accumulated. A final score of 3 and 2 means that Lierz had a three-stroke lead with two holes remaining and the match ended after 16 holes.
Simmons and Lierz (Bishop LeBlond), both members of 2017 Missouri high school championship teams, are competing this week in the Missouri Amateur Championship at St. Joseph Country Club in St. Joseph.
