NORTON SHORES — Paige Anderson was already one of the Muskegon area’s top girls high school golfers, if not the best, prior to Wednesday.
The Reeths-Puffer senior reached a new level with a remarkable round in the Greater Muskegon Athletic Association tournament. Anderson shot a bogey-free, 4-under-par 69 at Oak Ridge Golf Club to establish a career best, earn medalist honors, and power Reeths-Puffer to the GMAA team title.
Reeths-Puffer finished at 353 as a team, three shots ahead of runner-up Whitehall (356). Mona Shores was third (366), while Montague shot a season-best 388 to finish fourth.
Besides Anderson’s fantastic round, Fruitport junior Mylee Mineni recorded a hole-in-one on the 106-yard No. 14. She placed fourth overall with an 87.
Hear from Anderson and her coach, Matt Pallett, as well as Whitehall coach Bill Borgman and senior Ava Garcia in the video below:
