Greenwell shot 2-over par last week in the First Region Tournament to become the first Rocket male golfer to earn a state tournament berth since 1995.
In fact, last week The Press reported it had been since 1992, but further research found that Ryan Perry qualified for the state finals in ’95. There have been so few to reach the state level that records are old and dusty.
Greenwell tees off at 12:42 p.m., Friday. If he shoots well enough to make the second-day cut, Greenwell will play another 18 holes on Saturday, vying for a state championship.
