Senior Will Whiton and freshman Connor Nielsen each fired three-over par rounds of 39 to lead Perry to a 165-174 win over Winterset in Raccoon River Conference boys golf at the Perry Golf and Country Club Thursday.

Whiton earned medalist honors on a tiebreaker.

“Will and Connor had very good rounds,” Bluejay coach Nick Field said. “They found out that if stay away from the doubles and triples they can score really good.”

Whiton had four pars and a birdie, but limited his over-par holes to just a single stroke each to finish three-over, while Nielsen had five bogeys but also a pair of pars and two birdies for his 39.

Jack Brosnahan had a pair of pars and two birdies as well, but added a two triple-bogeys to a set of bogeys to finish at 43 while four double-bogeys and two bogeys went with three pars on the card of 44 turned in by Ryan Rathje.

Kade VanKirk’s 47 was not used for the team total, with Noah Wilkening DQ’d over a scorecard signing error.

Ty Gilliland (42), Cory Spilman (43), Layne Kincade (44) and Bryce Wilkinson (45) scored for the Huskies, with Chade Van Werden (52) and Tray Hockemeir (53) also making the rounds.

The Bluejay JV posted a comfortable 205-233 victory.

Zach Roberts (45), Tanner Darr (51), Dane McCarty (53) and Brody Kimrey (56) provided the scoring rounds for the Perry JV, with Tanner Duffy (58) and Luke Rathje (58) also in action.

Perry is scheduled to host the Bluejay Invitational Saturday, beginning at 8:30 a.m. The Bluejay and Jayette golfers will then host the annual Witmer-Dunphy Co-ed Invitational at 4 p.m. Monday.
