вЂ¦ As a person, golf helped me change my life to have a new outlook on life. вЂњGolf has definitely become a huge part of my life. вЂњI wouldnвЂ™t take back these four years - they have been some of the best of my life,вЂќ Ahlquist said. Ahlquist went from being a once-in-a-while golfer whoвЂ™d go out to shoot nine rounds with his grandfather to the most powerful presence driving fairways for the Tigers this year. Four years ago, he joined then-coach Gary SorensonвЂ™s program at the recommendation from his mom, who wanted to make something of his set of golf clubs. вЂњHaving passion for the sport is key,вЂќ Stone said.ДЄhlquist rounded out his Tigers career also having learned to love the sport. He also brought a competitiveness and consistency to the Tigers, which Scholl said benefited the team and enabled his rise up the ranks, from shooting in the 90s last season to soaring past 80.

While Stone is also a soccer player, the soccer season was delayed to spring, making time for golf. After a round as friends out on the Keystone River Course in the COVID-affected summer of 2020, Stone took up golf. StoneвЂ™s strong state championship showing comes just over a year after friends and 2021 Tigers state-championship golf seniors Ryley Cibula and Tyler Nakos encouraged and recruited Stone to the golf team. He took what the course gave him, and mapped his way around.вЂќ вЂњHe played smart golf and was aggressive when he could. вЂњRanger kept his foot on the gas all the way around and played beautifully,вЂќ Scholl said. The second shot was even better, Stone leaning on his 56-degree sand wedge to tag the flag and rest feet from the hole for a tap-in birdie putt. That included TuesdayвЂ™s first hole of the day, where on his first swing of the round, he drove off the tee box to just 90 yards from the pin. StoneвЂ™s ability to drive City ParkвЂ™s new fairways - the city course was redesigned before this summer - enabled him on Tuesday to go to his short game and attack some par-4s.

StoneвЂ™s fellow Summit senior Ricky Ahlquist shot rounds of 85 each day to cap a Tigers career where he played at three state tournaments. 4, earned him a total 36-hole score of 16-over - a mark that ranked him in the middle of the pack in the 84-golfer field. StoneвЂ™s round paired with an 86 from the opening round on Monday, Oct. вЂ¦ This finishes his career with his best round ever, and thatвЂ™s special as a coach to see that come to fruition.вЂќ вЂњYou love to see the whole year culminate in that. вЂњWhat a day for him,вЂќ Tigers head coach Ryne Scholl. 5, at an 18-hole second round of the Colorado High School Activities Association 4A state boys golf tournament at City Park Golf Course in Denver.
