SSM Golfers finished strong on the final day of the Plantations Junior Tour event at TPC Sawgrass. The final round was played on the Stadium Course which plays host to the PGA Tour’s Players Championship. Nathan Zhao fired a final round 80 which allowed him to win the tournament by 2 shots in the Boys 14-19 age group. Nathan’s round started out rough with a front nine score of 43 and trailed David Baker of North Carolina by 3 shots going into the final 9 holes. Zhao buckled down and finished strong with a 1 over par 37 on the final nine holes to take the crown by 2 shots over Baker. This is Nathan’s first win in a national junior tour event. Phillip Baumberger finished just as strong as Zhao with a back nine score of 38 to follow up his 48 on the front nine and was able to edge out fellow SSM golfer, Jake Curwin, by one shot who took 4th place. Sydney Brickey was able to move up a few spots by shooting her best competitive round with a final score of 87.
For all of you wondering about the famous #17 island green at Sawgrass, SSM golfers tamed it pretty well. Each of the golfers hit the green on their first shot, which is a great accomplishment. #18 did jump up and get the best of Sydney and Jake but Phillip was able to birdie the 18th with 3 great shots. The golfers will have a break in competition until February 17th when they head west to California.

SSM boys crowd the top of the leader board after the first day of the Plantations Tour TPC Sawgrass tournament in Jacksonville, Florida. Golfers played the Dye’s Valley course which has played host to the Nationwide’s Tour Winn Dixie Jacksonville Open. Nathan Zhao is sitting at top tied for 1st place in the boys 14-19 age group with a first round score of 77. Nathan had one birdie on the day but had numerous chances that just didn’t fall. Phillip Baumberger sits in sole 3rd place with a score of 78 in which he had birdies on his first and second holes of the round. Jake Curwin rounds out the SSM golfers tied for 4th place with a score of 79 which was highlighted with 5 birdies. Sydney Brickey is sitting in 5th place on the girls side with a round of 90. Coach Higdon is happy with the way the kids played to today. “With our three boys sitting in spots 1st through 4th, I am pretty happy with the things heading into the final round. Each one of the boys left a few shots on the course as typical with every round of golf, but overall they played pretty solid. They have all put themselves in position to win the tournament, let’s see if one of them can go out and take the crown. It will be fun to watch them all battle tomorrow on the Stadium Course which is host to the PGA Tour’s Player Championship. I hope it is close coming down to the famous #17 island green par 3 and the tough #18. It will make for a great finish.” Brickey tees off at 10:50 EST. tomorrow. Curwin tees off at 12:02 while Baumberger and Zhao are playing in the final group of the day at 12:10.

The sun was shining and the temperature was warmer than Faribault, but the winds were brutal and wreaked havoc on the junior golfers playing in the Plantations Junior Golf Tour at the University of Kentucky Club in Lexington, KY. Our golfers stayed strong and battled the 4o mph gusts, an excellent test in facing adversity. Four SSM golfers took to the course and Junior, Phillip Baumberger, carded an 81 on day one and followed up with an 82 on Sunday to finish in 12th place of the 59 boys aged 14 to 19 battling for an AJGA tournament exemption. Junior, Jake Curwin, shot a final round 84 after an opening round 83 to finish in 18th place. Freshman, Nathan Zhao, shot an 85 both rounds to finish in 27th place. Junior Sydney Brickey, competing in the girls 14 to 19 division, matched Baumberger’s 12th place finish with a final round score of 89. Brickey bettered her first round score by 6 shots. SSM golfers are taking a four week break in competition before heading to Florida to play at the TPC at Sawgrass in another Plantations Tour Event December 17th and 18th. Coach Higdon was happy with the way the players competed all weekend and persevered. “It was a true test of physical strength and mental stamina playing against the gusts of wind all weekend. Our golfers represented themselves well and fought strong ’til the end. I saw many juniors giving up and complaining about the wind, but not our players. We will continue to practice and grow over the next 4 weeks and look for a strong showing in FL.”

UW women’s hockey: Decker makes most of chance
UW women’s hockey: Decker makes most of chance
ANDY BAGGOT | abaggot@madison.com | 608-252-6175 madison.com | No Comments Posted | Posted: Saturday, October 8, 2011 6:00 am
Brianna Decker knows time is running short, so the junior center for the University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team is trying to make every nanosecond count.
Decker only has another eight weeks or so to alternately observe and pick the fertile brain of Meghan Duggan before the 2011 Patty Kazmaier Award winner graduates from UW in December with a degree in biology.
Duggan, the all-time leading scorer in program history who led the Badgers to the NCAA title last season, intends to return to the Boston area where she grew up and where she’ll continue to train toward another berth on the U.S. Olympic Team for 2014.
Between now and then, Duggan is a fixture at UW practices, attacking every drill and conditioning session. Decker is never very far away.
“I’ve taken so much from her already and she’s continuously helping me,” Decker said of her former linemate. “I’m trying to soak up everything as quick as possible here the next couple months.”
Decker, from Dousman, has a world-class skill set that could reunite her with Duggan on Team USA for the Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
In 70 career games, Decker has 54 goals, 60 assists and 114 points. She’s coming off a sophomore season in which she totaled 80 points (34 goals, 46 assists) and teamed with Duggan and current senior winger, captain and Olympian Hilary Knight to guide the Badgers to their fourth national title in six years.
Decker became a protégé of sorts for Duggan. Whatever drill Duggan did, Decker wanted to see if she could do it better. Whenever Duggan stayed after practice to work on her game, Decker was right there, too.
But this goes beyond the game. Duggan was an exceptional captain. Teammates respectfully referred to her as “Alpha.” When Decker picks her brain, the subjects aren’t limited to on-ice tactics.
“I ask her little things about leadership and how to control certain situations on the team,” said Decker, one of three assistant captains along with senior wingers Brooke Ammerman and Carolyn Prevost. “And I know she studies her butt off all the time. I want to pick up on those things, too.
“I want to be an all-around good person and that’s what she is. She’s a great example for every one of us in that (dressing) room.”
The top-ranked Badgers are about to get a good measure of their collective character. They open a daunting month of matchups at 2 p.m. Saturday when they host North Dakota in a Western Collegiate Hockey Association series at the Kohl Center.
The Sioux are loaded with talent and seem primed for a breakthrough season. That series is followed by two more against rivals Minnesota and Minnesota-Duluth before Boston University comes to Madison for a rematch of March’s NCAA title game.
“We’re playing solid teams this month,” Decker said. “It’s going to be a challenge, but we need to focus on ourselves.”
In the midst of carrying 17 credits this semester, Duggan kept close tabs on Decker. Duggan likes what she sees.
“She has developed into probably, I’d say, one of the best players in the world,” Duggan said. “Just in the last year the strides that she’s made in her game are unbelievable. I think everyone has noticed them.
“I’m really excited to see where she’s going to go this year. Her eagerness to learn and get better every single day I think is what’s made her into an elite player. She’s only going to get better because of that.”
