SEDAN — Humboldt golfers opened their season on Tuesday at Sedan in a tournament hosted by Caney Valley.

The Cubs brought three golfers: Ryan Sell-man, Reid Smith and Roni Bulk.

Sellman led the way, shooting an 84 (43/41) to place fourth overall. Sellman was 10 strokes behind the first-place finisher Trevor Watson of Caney Valley who shot a 74 (38/36).

Bulk shot a 118 (65/53) and Smith shot a 127 (66/61).

“They all struggled a bit today but for the first meet but I was pleased with the result,” head coach Eric Sparks said. “We haven’t had a chance to practice very much due to spring break and the weather, so I knew coming in that it may be a rough start. I was happy to see that they all improved on the back 9, and they now have a better feel of what they need to work on in practice.”

The Cubs will travel to Burlington on April 3.
