Jackson golfer earns top meet award; team second

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. -- Jackson golfer Kyle Perry fired a 73 Monday to claim medalist at the 15-team Poplar Bluff Invitational at Ozark Ridge Golf Course.

Perry's 3-over-par round, which nipped Poplar Bluff's Ben Brummitt by a stroke, helped Jackson to a second-place showing as the Indians finished just a shot behind Jonesboro, Ark., in the team competition. Jonesboro's top four golfers combined for a 310 total. Jackson finished at 311, while Cape Central (331) placed fifth, Fredericktown (337) ninth and Notre Dame (361) 11th.

The field had to contend with wet, windy conditions.

"That was one of our lower scores down there as team," Jackson coach Ron Cook said. "I'm pretty proud of the guys."
