Cameron Morgan’s golf season was a record-breaking All-State performance for the Chippewa Hills sports program.
Morgan became the school’s first All-Stater in golf when he placed eighth with rounds of 78 and 80. He was six strokes away from medalist David Ansley of Traverse City St. Francis with a 152.
Chippewa Hills was seventh overall as a team. Behind Morgan in scoring was Brandon Slasor 170. Dylan Boerma with 170, Marcus Barnes with 190 and Bode McArthur with 196.
Morgan shot an 80 on Saturday and coupled with his 78 from Friday he had a 158 to take eighth. He was only six strokes behind medalist David Ansley of Traverse City St. Francis.
“He had a couple of bad breaks but he bounced back. I’m pretty proud of the guy,” Starck said. “He’s first one placing in the top 10 at the state finals.”
“Conditions were hard but ending up in the top 10 I was pretty happy,” Morgan said. “I don’t think the rain cost me any strokes. It was the mental errors. The rain can have an effect. Everyone is playing under the same conditions.”
Morgan was the individual champion for the Central State Activities Association.
He had a best round of 71 during the season.
“I got the ball on the green and I was making putts,” he recalled. “I was playing good golf.”
Morgan has had offers for college golf but said he has not yet made a decision.
