Sharyland High senior Jun Min Lee won the UIL Class 5A Region IV boys golf tournament on Tuesday to earn a trip to the state tournament.
Lee shot a 73 in the first round Monday followed by a day-two 72. His two-day winning total of 145 was just one stroke better then second-place Kenner Mangold from Boerne Champion, who shot a 146.
The top three teams and the next three highest-scoring individuals advance to state, and Lee was 10 strokes better than the third individual state qualifier.
Sharyland Pioneer’s team finished fourth with a score of 655, just four strokes off of the third-place team, Stephen F. Austin (651). Sharyland High was just behind Pioneer at 659, putting the Rattlers in fifth.
Donna High (780) finished 11th, and Edcouch-Elsa (813) came in 14th.
The next highest Valley individual finisher after Lee was Steven Hinojosa, of Mission Veterans, who shot a 158 to earn a 14th place.
The UIL Class 5A boys state tournament will be held May 14-15 at White Wing Golf Course in Georgetown.
