MIDDLETOWN — Sidney High School sophomore Zach Yinger battled poor conditions to shoot an outstanding round Wednesday at Middletown’s Weatherwax Golf Course, and earn himself a spot as an individual in next weekend’s State Golf Tournament in Columbus.

According to Sidney head coach Doug Barhorst, Yinger played half the holes in the rain Wednesday. But he still shot a steady round of 16 pars and two birdies for a final 2-under-par 70, tying him for medalist honors and getting him one of only three spots for individuals not on qualifying teams.

“Considering the conditions, Zach shot a solid round,” said Barhorst. “Weatherwax is a difficult course, but Zach really played well.”
