Manchester, Vt. — Brady Hathorn had one of his best rounds as a high school golfer, placing second overall in the Hurricanes’ 18-hole match at Ekwanok Country Club.

Hathorn shot an 8-over-par 79 to finish behind only Rutland’s Logan Broyles, who dominated the field with a 3-under 68. Logan Raymond (105), Jared Vanderpot (106) and Justin Jasmin (106) completed Hartford’s scoring on a course considered among the most challenging in Vermont.

“They loved the course; none of them had ever seen it before,” Hartford coach Mike Hathorn said. “It was our first 18-hole tournament, and on a course like that with the greens lightning (quick), especially on the downhill.

“They shot 211 on the front nine and (184) on the back. They learned. If it had been the other way around, I would have been concerned. But most of them were 5-10 shots better on the back nine.”

Hartford heads to the 18-hole Mount Anthony Patriot Classic in Bennington on Tuesday.
