Solomon High School Sophomore Spencer Coup claimed the Kansas Class 1A Boys Golf individual State Championship on Tuesday, capping off his outstanding spring season with a total score of 154 over the two day tournament in Emporia.

Coup shot 77 on both days, for a +12 score to take the title by exactly one stroke, ahead of Montezuma-South Gray’s Jaxon Koehn.

Solomon did not have their full team compete in the state tournament, but Coup wasn’t the only Gorilla on the course, as Sophomore Jake Sommer carded a +28 over round as well.

Coup will return next season, eyeing an opportunity to be one of the select few in KSHSAA Golf history to become repeat champions.
