Garden City set to host 2017 National Golf Tourney
Garden City, KS-The 2017 National Junior College Athletic Association National Golf Tournament will be held in Garden City at Buffalo Dunes May 16-19.
"It's a really exciting time for Garden City Community College," athletic director John Green said. "Some of the best golfers across the country will be here."
That loaded field includes top-ranked Indian Hills from Region XI and No. 2 Dodge City, led by individual region-champ and No. 1-ranked Sinsrang Witchayapat, who is 20-0 vs. top-25 competition. Eastern Arizona, Central Alabama, New Mexico, Western Texas, Hutchinson, Iowa Western, Wallace State, McLennan, Eastern Florida State, Pima, Spartanburg Methodist College, Otero, Midland, Richard Bland, John A. Logan, Faulkner State, No. 3 Odessa, Scottsdale, Eastern Wyoming and Jacksonville round out the rest of the field.
As for Garden City, they earned the automatic qualifier because they are the host school. But make no mistake about it, the Broncbusters turned heads late in the season and were sitting in fourth place after the first day of districts (top four go to nationals).
Garden City is led by Dominic Pollock, who is ranked 54th in the county. The sophomore, who had to withdraw on the first day of district play because of illness, battled back to shoot a 75 on the final day.
"To shoot a 75 and be that sick was incredible," Green said. "Just think if he played the full tournament."
Luke Russell picked up the slack, earning a spot on the all-region team with a 14th-place finish at districts. The Broncbusters will also suit up their No. 2 Jordan Parsons, who missed districts with an ankle injury, Scott Campbell, Jordan Bishop and Nathan Roy.
