In other golf:
Roanoke's Ryan Ketron added a 73 to his opening round of 75 and won the boys' 16-18 age division title at the Smith Mountain Lake Junior Golf Invitational at the Waterfront Country Club near Moneta.
Ketron, who will be a senior at William Byrd, won the 16-17 age division last year with a score of 141. He said the addition of 18-year-olds made the competition a little tougher.
"There were more good players in it," he said. "I didn't shoot as good as last year, but ended up winning it."
Brandon Scruggs of Gretna shot a 74 to finish second at 151.
Mark Sweeney of Troutville had the lowest score of the tournament, winning the boys' 13-15 age division with rounds of 75 and 72 for a 147. Salem's Nick Varney was second (76-72-148) followed by Justin Young of Roanoke (78-76-154).
