Crookston Pirate Girls Golfer Ava Martin is competing in the Minnesota State High School League Class AA Girls Golf tournament at the Ridges at Sand Creek Golf Course near Jordan.
Ava shot a first round 91. The course plays as a Par 72 that is 5,136 yards.
Ava started her round on the first hole and had a bumpy start, which is expected with the nerves of teeing off in front of a bunch of people and playing in your first state golf tournament. The junior started with a bogey and triple bogey. She followed with three more bogies before recording her first part on the par-four sixth hole. After a bogey on the seventh hole she recorded a par and ended the front nine on a double bogey for a 46 through nine holes.
Ava kept battling on the back nine where it is a little more scenic and the elevation change makes it a challenge. She parred the 10th hole before getting a double bogey, followed by a par. She double and triple bogied the next two holes before turning in a birdie on the 75-yard par 3 15th hole. She parred the 16th before she ended the round with a bogey and a double bogey for a 91.
