He enters the tournament ranked No. 20 individually in class 3A with a 41 average per nine holes. His 18-hole average is 80 this season. Elmwood is a par 70 course, playing at 6,148 yards from the black tees. Competitors will play full 18-hole rounds today and tomorrow to decide state champions. Action begins at 10a.m. and continues all day in Marshalltown.
