CPHS Golf: Carson Griggs comes in Runner-Up at 6A State Tournament

/

Charles Page High School junior Carson Griggs made his third trip to the OSSAA 6A State Tournament this week and had his best performance yet, finishing Runner-Up by two strokes.

The two-day three-round tournament was held at the Golf Club of Edmond instead of Stillwater's Karsten Creek due to flooding at the usual host site.

Griggs played excellently all three rounds, but his best performance was on day one when he shot three strokes under par. His 67-stroke finish was the second-best performance of any golfer during any round. State Champion Austin Eckroat had the best single-round score at 66.

Griggs sat in second place after the first round, then shot a 71 in round two and dropped to third place at the end of day one behind Eckroat and Brock Polhill, both of Edmond North. On day two he made up for lost ground with the best performance of the day, shooting a 68. He jumped five strokes ahead of Polhill, but was still two short of Eckroat, who scored 68 in round two and 70 in round three. 

72 athletes competed at the event, with an average score of 241. Griggs finished with a total score of 206. Griggs previously tied for nineteenth place as a freshman and twentieth place as a sophomore with scores of 238 and 242 at Karsten Creek. Edmond North won their fifteenth State Championship as a team. The Huskies hold the record for most State Championships won by any school at any classification in Oklahoma.

The Charles Page High School Boys' Golf team traveled to the Bartlesville Bruin Invitational at Adams Golf Course last week. They were one member short of a full lineup and thus couldn't earn a team placement, but Carson Griggs took second place, Kyler Gaylor tied for 29th, and JT Bristow took 49th. 

Griggs was consistent through both halves of the two-round tournament, shooting 77 in round one and 76 in round two. With a total score of 153 on a par 144, Griggs tied Sapulpa's Daniel Reed for first place, but then lost in a playoff for the top medal. 

Gaylor had a tough first round with a score of 93, but followed it up with an 84 to finish at 177. Bristow shot a 216 with rounds of 109 and 107. 

Owasso took first place in the tournament with a team score of 652, followed by Bishop Kelley at 653. The home team came in third at 656, tailed by Sapulpa at 657.

The season wrapped up for Bristow and Gaylor Monday at the Regional Tournament in Owasso. Bristow shot a 224 with rounds of 114 and 110, and Gaylor shot a 164 with rounds of 79 and 85. Griggs scored a 152 with rounds of 80 and 72 to tie for sixth place. He will advance to the State Tournament at the Golf Club of Edmond next Monday and Tuesday.
