High school golf reached the peak of its season with the UIL State Golf Tournaments being held last week, and the Ranch Cities’ two representatives, Zander Zafar of Tioga and Hank David of Pilot Point, teed it high and let fly, with both finishing in the Top 5 of their respective tournaments Monday and Tuesday.
Zafar finished first out of 72 competitors at Lions Municipal Golf Course, capping his senior season as the UIL 2A State Champion.
“Zander played the best golf that I’ve seen him play in the two years that I have been a coach at Tioga,” Tioga head golf coach Ragan Smith said. “He was relaxed and finished four under [par] for Day 1 and three under today, and we were told he set a state record for the lowest score [in 2A] over two days of the tournament. … He was playing out of his mind.”
