Wilma Pushes Florida Prep Golf Back One Week

The state high school golf tournaments, postponed for a week because of Hurricane Wilma, now are scheduled for next Tuesday and Wednesday at four different courses.

Holy Trinity sophomore Vicky Hurst takes aim at the Class 1A girls championship after shooting rounds of 62 and 69 to reach the state tournament.

She will not be the only player representing Brevard County at high school golf's highest level.

Titusville junior Spencer Burson will play in the Class 2A boys tournament at Hammock Creek Golf Club in Palm City, while Palm Bay resident Michael Hebert will try to help Circle Christian in Orlando win a Class 1A boys state championship at Fairwinds Golf Course in Fort Pierce.

Senior Kelly Hurst will lead Cocoa Beach's girls team in the Class 1A tournament on The Saints at Port St. Lucie Golf Course. As luck would have it, she'll be paired with her younger sister for both rounds.

Vicky Hurst gets to experience what many players feel when she is in the same field as they are: the perception that everyone else is playing for second place.

St. Andrew's Morgan Pressel, who finished second in the U.S. Women's Open this summer, is back to defend her state championship. Pressel won the Class 1A title last year by 15 strokes.
