DeKalb County High School Golfer Isaac Walker competed in the TSSAA Class A-AA Golf Tournament on Tuesday and Wednesday at Willowbrook Golf Club in Manchester.
Walker shot a 77 on Tuesday and a 74 on Wednesday for a two day total of 151. Out of 72 golfers competing, Isaac finished in a tie for 14th place. Walker, just a sophomore, was making his second appearance at the state tournament in as many years.
“I am so proud of Isaac and the way he prepared and competed this week and really all year. He is a such a great kid, a great student, and just a joy to be around. I wish I could take credit for his outstanding golf, but the credit all goes to him. He has tremendous support from his family including his dad, Scott Walker, mom, Misty Walker, and his sister, Hannah Walker. I feel Isaac’s best golf is in front of him, and there is no limit to how far he can go,” said DCHS Golf Coach John Pryor.
Walker earned his way into the state by finishing 3rd in the district tournament and 2nd in the region.
Kyle Cottam of Knoxville Catholic was the runaway winner with a score of -6.
“Isaac improved a lot at State from last year, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he made a run at a state championship in the next couple of years,” said Coach Pryor.
