High school girls golf: Lone Peak zeroing in on 6A 3-peat after dominant opening round

Lone Peak’s girls golf team is well on its way to a 6A three-peat after a dominant showing during Monday’s opening round at Soldier Hollow Golf Course.

Lone Peak shot a Day 1 300, good enough for a 39-stroke advantage over Fremont heading into Tuesday’s final round. Only three teams in state history have ever broke 300 in a state tournament round, with Lone Peak missing it by just one.

The 18-hole team score record is 292 by Lone Peak in 2018. The Knights shot a 296 in 2019, and then Corner Canyon shot a 298 in 2018.

The top three spots on the leaderboard all belong to Lone Peak. Junior Adley Nelson leads after shooting a 1-under 71 on Monday, with fellow junior and defending state champ Aadyn Long two strokes back after a 1-over 73.

Sophomore Saydie Wagner sits in third place at 3-over, with Herriman’s Natalie McLane in fourth at 4-over.

Nelson, who finished in 12th place last season, made three birdies on the back nine in Monday’s round. She’ll be in the final group on Tuesday that tees off at 11:10 a.m. along with Fremont’s Madalyn Hadley, Weber’s Remi Rawlings and Bingham’s Chloe Suazo.
