High school boys golf: 3A final region recaps, Richfield, Morgan, Juan Diego win region titles

The 3A boys golf regular season came to a close on Tuesday with the final region tournaments of the season. The focus now shifts to the state tournament at The Ridge Golf Course next Wednesday and Thursday.

Richfield, Morgan and Juan Diego won their respective region championships and will be among the top contenders for the state title. Morgan is the defending 3A state champs and have won five out of the past six 3A titles.

The three region medalists in 3A are Richfield’s Pace Mullen, Morgan’s Lance Loughton and Juan Diego’s Eamonn Dolan. Loughton is the defending state champ as he won last year’s title by five strokes.

Loughton finished with the top scoring average in 3A at 69.1. The second lowest average belonged to both Morgan’s Jace Benson and Ben Lomond’s Caysen VanBeekum. The close proximity of the three Region 13 golfers should make for a very competitive state tournament.

Here’s a look at the final region results from all three 3A regions.
