SLC GOLF: Panthers’ Destree tops in area

Courtesy of a strong back nine, Wilmot Union High School junior Keegan Destree held on to finish third among Southern Lakes Conference golfers Thursday at Brighton Dale Links, where she claimed first-team all conference honors.

Destree, who notched a 44 in the front nine Blue Spruce course, entered the last half of the round just two strokes behind leader Holly Murphy of Lake Geneva Badger.

Murphy, the SLC Player of the Year, scored an 83 while Union Grove senior Jackie Bianchi took second with an 84.

Union Grove, which won the meet, captured its sixth consecutive SLC title.

Destree’s team, which placed fifth, received its next best performance from senior Madison Bailey.

Bailey, who had a 97, finished 11th among 40 golfers to claim honorable mention.
