In American Heritage’s high school golf win, senior Jude Kim tied this Broward record
The oldest 18-hole high school golf tournament in the state of Florida, the 36th Annual Morrison Invitational was held at Fort Lauderdale Country Club on Wednesday.
The Plantation American Heritage boys’ golf team running away with another tournament was nothing special. The Patriots do that a a lot.
What was special was what Heritage senior golfer Jude Kim did. Kim fired an eye-popping 8-under-par 64 tying the Broward County individual scoring record, but he did it in difficult scoring conditions as winds were gusting up close to 30 mph.
“I knew the conditions were windy so I just tried to keep hitting a lot of knock-down shots,” said Kim who after only shooting a 2-under 34 on the front nine, went crazy on the back shooting 30, which included an eagle on 17. “I knew where I was at on the last hole and had an uphill 30 foot putt for birdie on 18 but left it a little short.”
Kim tied his own record. In 2016, he shot a 64 at Lago Mar, which tied the record held by another Heritage golfer, Tommy Hurst, who shot the number at the same Fort Lauderdale CC in 2011.
“Not only is Jude a terrific golfer, but just an outstanding young man off the course as well,” said long-time Heritage coach Brandt Moser. “The fact that he’s only looking at Ivy League schools and has a scheduled trip to Yale next week tells you everything you need to know as far as how academically committed he is.”
Suffice to say, Kim claimed medalist honors for the day as Heritage easily won with a team score of 278, 25 shots ahead of second place Palm Beach Gardens Benjamin. Normally a three-under-par 69 will get you medalist honors but Heritage’s Leo Herrera had to settle for second place on this day. Luke Clanton (72), Jonathan Mourin (77), Gabe Hegerstrom (77) and Sebastian Sacristan (79) rounded out the Heritage scoring.
Led by Ryan Fenton (76) Pine Crest took third with a score of 317 while Cardinal Gibbons, with Colby Oliver (78) leading the way, finished fourth with a 331.
