The Richmond Senior High School girls golf team took fifth at Pinehurst No. 6 Monday in the fourth conference golf match of the season.

In their first 18-hole round of the season, the Lady Raiders shot a 383 as a team, behind Pinecrest with a 230, Union Pines with a 298, Scotland with a 362 and Lee County with a 375.

“It was a long, tough day,” said head coach Keith Parsons. “Pinehurst No. 6 is difficult and it is not an easy course to walk, and a good portion of our group played 18 holes for the first time. I am very pleased with how we played. Everyone had some of the best shots of her season (Monday); now it’s a matter of stringing those together for a group of holes to see even more improvement.”

Abigail Tatum paced the team with a 125 (66-59), closely followed by Jamie Sears’ 126 (64-62).

Ella Munn shot a 132 (68-64), Makayla Webb shot a 138 (67-71) and Morgan Stutts shot a 142 (70-72).

The Lady Raiders now have two matches remaining, next week at Whispering Pines then back at Pinehurst No. 6 to end the regular season.

“I’m excited to see our progress,” Parsons said.
