Kirtland’s Adam Mueller carded a career-low 33 to win medalist honors and to keep the Hornets undefeated in Chagrin Valley Conference play with a 161-192 win over visiting Wickliffe at St. Denis on Wednesday.
Michael Schnur shot a 41, Jack Dever finished with a 42 and Isabel Anness and Seann McGill both came in with a 45 in the win for the Hornets, who improved to 11-2 overall and 6-0 in league play.
“I was just hitting my tee shots really well and striking the ball really solidly,” Mueller said. “My putts were falling today, which also contributed a lot to how I played.”
Mueller was 4-under par through seven holes.
“I was playing decent early but I just was focused on getting down for par,” he said. “Once I eagled No. 6, I knew I would be able to go low.”
The Hornets will try to cap the regular season with the CVC championship at the league’s post-season tournament on Monday in the kickoff of the postseason.
“I’m very confident heading into next week,” Mueller said. “Our team just needs to keep playing how we’ve been playing and we should be fine.”
