“It was Annika Reierson’s weekend today as she followed up a good round yesterday with another one today,” Assistant Coach Randy Stuckey said. “Her ball striking and putting were exceptional. It is one of the best performances that I’ve seen from a woman’s individual in many years. Her progression has been phenomenal and peaking at the right time. We were much more comfortable today as the scores indicate. Again, we must get a better start on day one instead of waiting until day too. Looking forward to a week of preparation for our conference tournament next weekend.”
The Gusties compete at the MIAC Championships next Saturday through Monday at Bunker Hills.
My daughter, Bella Dory (CSP) played with Annika on Sunday . After the round Bell told me Annika is the nicest person she has ever met. Annika played a beautiful round of golf on Sunday. After the round she carried herself with dignity and class after running in to unfortunate bad luck on her last hole. Annika is a terrific role model for golf !! Good luck the the rest of the season . PS … with your golf swing , you will win many golf tournaments
