2001 IHSAA BOYS GOLF STATE FINALS
June 13-14, 2001
Legends of Indiana, Franklin
Mishawaka Marian claims title with record- breaking score;
LaPorte’s Steven Lowe wins medalist honors in playoff
Displaying outstanding team balance with three individuals in the top 20, Mishawaka Marian claimed its first IHSAA title in boys golf with a record score of 589.
After taking a one-stroke lead over Zionsville in the first round at 294, Mishawaka Marian came back with the best score of the second round as well at 295. Senior David Lindley led the Knights with a final-round 71.
Zionsville, whose 598 also bettered the previous 36-hole team tournament score, had entered the state tournament ranked No. 2 in the coaches association poll. Yorktown was No. 1, while Mishawaka Marian was ninth.
The top two teams were followed by Bloomington South (602), Warsaw (603) and Richmond (606). Defending state champion Evansville North finished sixth at 607.
Sophomore Cole Isban and junior Daniel Klauer paced Mishawaka Marian with 36-hole totals of 143, one stroke off the individual pace. They were followed by David Lindley (148), senior Daniel Fitzpatrick (155) and junior Stephen Cashore (158). The Knights were coached by Jim Kryder.
The previous 36-hole team record in the 65-year history of the event was 599 by Noblesville in 1998 at Prestwick Country Club in Avon.
It was the fifth IHSAA title overall for Mishawaka Marian and the first since the Knights claimed the Class 2A football crown in 1976.
Senior Steven Lowe of LaPorte survived a one-hole playoff with senior Jason Buffone of Lake Central to win medalist honors at 142. Lowe tapped in a short par putt on the par-five, 501-yard 10th hole, while Buffone three-putted for a bogey six.
Lowe and Buffone recorded the third lowest 36-hole scores in tournament history. The record remained at 139, set by Gary Gant of North Central (Indianapolis) in 1970. Lowe and Buffone are two of six players to finish at 142 since the tournament adopted a 36-hole format in 1970 when the first of 17 state finals was played at Old Oakland Golf Club in Indianapolis.
Lowe went into the second round one stroke out of the lead at 69 and fired a one-over-par 73. Buffone was four strokes behind first-round leader Robert Davidge of Culver Military but came through with a 70 to fight his way into the playoff. Buffone shared second-day low honors with David Kelvin of Zionsville. Davidge followed his first-round 68 with a 75 to finish at 143 with Isban and Klauer.
Lowe is the second LaPorte player to win IHSAA boys golf medalist honors, joining Rudy Boyd who was the co-medalist in 1951.
The Legends of Indiana served as the host site of the IHSAA State Finals for the first time. Recent host sites were Prestwick (1987-2000) and Old Oakland (1970-1986).
Heath Peters of Garrett receives
Keesling Mental Attitude Award
Heath Peters of Garrett was named the 2001 recipient of the Fred Keesling Award for Mental Attitude in IHSAA Boys Golf by the IHSAA Executive Committee.
A three-time state finals participant in golf, Peters was named to the All-Northeast Corner Conference team four times. He also played four years of football at Garrett, and was voted the school’s senior athlete of the year in 2001.
Academically, he ranked 12th in his senior class of 109 students and was involved in several extracurricular activities in the school and as a community volunteer. He has signed a golf letter of intent with Indiana University and will major in business.
Farm Bureau Insurance, corporate partner of the IHSAA, presented a $1,000 scholarship to Garrett High School in the name of Peters.
