Granbury High School golfer Travis Benson was tops at the boys’ first golf tournament of the spring season in the Bearcat Classic held February 10-11, 2012, at the Split Rail Links & Golf Club near Aledo.

Benson, a GHS junior, tied for first individually but lost a scorecard playoff to a Mansfield Legacy player.

“The conditions were tough but Travis kept a positive attitude throughout the whole tournament,” commented head coach Steve Ward.  “His mental toughness is improving with every tournament.”

The team’s results from the tournament were:  Benson (74-84 = 158), Austin Kinsey (78-87 = 165), Zac Wall (89-86 = 175), Derek Williams (94-90 = 184), and Patrick Wilson (98-92 = 190).

“The weather both days was tough, especially on Saturday when the wind-chill never got out of the 20’s,” said Ward.  “The boys fought hard through the elements and gained some valuable experience playing in these conditions.”
