Baldwin’s Mason Dick putts for par Thursday in the Junior Team Championship at Eagle Bend.

One day after birdies fell like rain out of the sky, Eagle Bend Golf Course and the Junior Team Championship tournament got their revenge on Thursday.

Thanks in large part to the difficulty of the final round’s alternate-shot format — in which twosomes took turns hitting shots from wherever the previous shot landed — the three teams that featured local products Spencer Scott (Lawrence High), Mason Dick (Baldwin High) and Colby Yates (Tonganoxie High) each shot par or worse and finished at least nine strokes behind the winners.

During Wednesday’s first round — a best-ball format in which the teams of twosomes took the best individual score on each hole — 19 of the tourney’s 33 teams finished below par, while seven others shot even par. Thursday, just four teams finished under par, while only two others shot even.

“It’s just really hard to get into a rhythm,” said Elliot Soyez, who teamed with Michael Gellerman to shoot 69 on Thursday and a tourney-best 134 overall. “But this is probably the most fun tournament I play in all summer. It’s just different. Golf’s a grind, and this changes it up a little.”

Although they won, Soyez and Gellerman weren’t without their struggles. The duo double-bogeyed the par-3 eighth, but then caught fire and birdied holes No. 9 through 12.

“The birdie at 9 got us back to even, and the next hole really got us going,” Soyez said.

Added Gellerman: “Our goal was to shoot even or 1-under for the tournament, and the birdie at nine got us back to even.”

From there, they shot 3-under on the back nine to finish 10-under for the tournament.

The only other groups to break par Thursday were: Evan Holcomb and Thane Ringler, who shot 71 and finished second with a 137; Trey Herman and Nick VonLintel, who shot 71 and tied for third with 140; and Connor Schrock and Henry Simpson, who shot 70 and finished eight strokes behind the winners at 142.

Lawrence High’s Scott and his partner, Brett Dowell, might have been up there had it not been for disaster on two of the first five holes.

Scott and Dowell triple-bogeyed the par-3 third and the par-4 fifth, ruining what could’ve been a productive day.

“We played 16 holes pretty well,” Scott said.

After the triple bogey at the fifth, Scott and Dowell finished the day with 12 pars and one birdie. Both said they thought their early struggles — which included Dowell sinking a 40-foot putt for par on No. 1 — helped fuel their strong finish.

“I think I was a little too focused early on,” Scott said. “Once I started to lay back a little bit, I played much better. I started hitting my irons better on the back nine, and that helped give us chances at birdie.”

Scott and Dowell carded just one birdie on the day — on the par-5 12th — and missed four birdie putts inside of 10 feet. Their two-round total of 146 left them tied for 14th place.

Yates and his partner, Parker Miller, of Kansas City, Kan., finished with the best area round of the day.

They followed up Wednesday’s 71 with a 72 on Thursday and finished tied for eighth overall at 143. Yates and Miller carded three birdies against just one bogey but also had a double bogey on No. 8.

Dick and his partner, Sam Schulte, of Hutchinson, followed up Wednesday’s 68 with a 75 on Thursday and finished tied for eighth at 143. Dick and Schulte recorded four bogeys and one birdie in the final round.
