Golfers place at state event

Saturday, May 28, 2016

Two Mountain Home High School students climbed through the ranks as they shot their way to place during this year's state golf tournament, which wrapped up May 17 at the Falcon Crest Golf Course near Kuna.

Marcus Egusquiza and Leila Ayers earned seats at the state finals after they led the Mountain Home team at districts.

Egusquiza shot a second-day 75 to go with the 80 he carded the first day to finish in a tie for seventh place. During a scorecard playoff, he chipped in a birdie on the 17th, allowing him to finish seventh at state.

Ayers earned a seventh-place finish with a first round 85 followed by a 91 in the second round for a two-day total of 176.
