— COLLEGE PARK — Northern High School senior Austin Doerr finished in a four-way tie for fourth place in all classes in the Maryland High School Golf Tournament at the University of Maryland Golf Course and finished second among Class 2A/1A players as only one individual state champion is crowned overall in the state tournament.
On Tuesday, Doerr fired a first-round 73, just two shots off the lead and good for second place after the opening round of the tournament, then followed up Wednesday with a 74 to finish at 147.
Doerr concluded his high school golfing career as a three-time AMAC champion and a member of the 2009 and 2010 AMAC championship teams. He was a two-time Garrett County Invitational champion, finished fourth in the 2009 Distrist 1 2A/1A championship and won the 2010 District 1 2A/1A championship before finishing fourth overall in the state on Thursday.
Sixty-one golfers qualified for the state tournament and 36, based on Tuesday’s scores, qualified for the final round.
Doerr was the only golfer from Garrett or Allegany counties in the state tournament.
Wootton’s Connor Tendall shot a 71/72 for a two-stroke victory over his nearest competitors Bart George of Broadneck and Cas Dickerson of McDonough. Only four strokes separated all of the other top 10 boys medalists.
North Carroll took home the Class 2A/1A team title by eight strokes over runner-up McDonough by shooting a team score over the two days of 632. In Class 4A/3A, Urbana held off Damascus to retain the title they won last year by three strokes, 618-621.
