A Mid-Prairie Golden Hawk punched his ticket to the class 3A state golf meet with his district performance Thursday, Golden Hawk senior Dominic McCain, the lone Mid-Prairie player remaining fired a round of 76 at Edmondson Golf Course in Oskaloosa to finish as district medalist runner-up and advance. Will Simpson of Pella shot 74 to win the individual title. McCain got on a roll early, paring his first four holes and standing at just one over through nine. He got back to even par with a clutch birdie on his 10th and bogeyed his 11th to sit at one over with just six left. Things didn’t go his way late, playing the last six at five over, but he rebounded with an important par on his 18th to take a personal best six over 76 into the clubhouse. McCain will participate in the class 3A state golf meet beginning on Thursday at Elmwood Country Club in Marshalltown.
