Sophomore Kevin Bell Wins Class 3 State Golf Title!!!
BOYS GOLF: STATE TOURNAMENT NOTEBOOK Westminster's Bell wins a state title for Mom By Craig Martin SPECIAL TO THE POST-DISPATCH 05/14/2008 REPUBLIC, MO. — Westminster's Kevin Bell figured out early in Tuesday's second round of the Class 3 state golf tournament that he just had to keep his composure. Bell, a sophomore, watched as first-round leader Drew Decker of Excelsior Springs bogeyed two of the first three holes and then quadruple-bogeyed No. 4 at Springfield's Rivercut Golf Course. Playing in the same group as Decker, Bell had quickly made up his 2-shot deficit after an opening-round 74. Bell focused on making pars and shot a second-round 75 to win the Class 3 tournament with a 5-over 149 total.
"I figured I just had to make pars and not have a blow-up hole," Bell said. "I knew I could win it if I played steady the rest of the way."
Bell has yet to decide how he will celebrate his state title, but he said it was a gift he had already pledged to someone else.
"I did promise my mom for Mother's Day I would get her a state championship," Bell said.
