Tekoa — Rain, Drama and a Standout Solo Act at Tekoa Country Club

On a wet, wind-swept afternoon that felt more like a challenge than a round, two teams squared off at Tekoa Country Club and served up one of those matches that golfers love to dissect. This wasn’t a runaway; it was a gritty team win edged out by steady scoring and a little bit of luck on the damp greens. The match took place on a damp afternoon at Tekoa Country Club on September 24, 2025.

Big picture

The scoreboard told a simple story at the end: Pathfinder pulled together just enough steady play to beat St. Mary’s, but the headlines belonged to one St. Mary’s player who refused to let the weather or the course bully him. Curt Piziak, St. Mary’s No. 1 golfer, led all golfers with a score of 46. His round was the kind of solo performance that makes teammates proud and opponents quiet for a minute.

Pathfinder’s steady march

Pathfinder didn’t have a single eye-popping low round to steal the show, but they didn’t need one. Their No. 1 golfer, Owen Lucier, shot a 48, and he was backed up by three other contributors who kept the pressure on in tough conditions. Three other Pathfinder players contributed with scores in the 50s: Lucas Roy (52), Noah Latulippe (53), and Alex Kularski (53). When you add those pieces together, the result was a clean team victory: Pathfinder won the match with a total team score of 206, compared to St. Mary’s score of 222.

How the match felt on the course

The damp afternoon made every putt unpredictable and every tee shot feel like a commitment. In weather like that, pars become victories and small scrambles become momentum. Piziak’s 46 stood out not just because it was the low number on the card, but because it came in conditions where bogeys and doubles showed up more often than usual. Meanwhile, Pathfinder’s quartet of scores in the 40s and 50s read like a clinic in damage control — consistent enough to make the difference.

What this means for both teams

For St. Mary’s, there’s a clear takeaway: one superstar outing isn’t always enough in team play. Piziak gave his side a fighting chance and then some, but golf is a team sport at match scoring and the rest of the cards didn’t line up. For Pathfinder, this result is validation of steady play under pressure: steady rounds from multiple players can beat a flash of brilliance by itself.

Closer look — the scorecard snapshot

The simplest numbers tell the clearest story. Curt Piziak’s 46 was the low number on the day, and Pathfinder’s collective 206 was just enough to create the separation needed for the win. In wet-weather golf, consistency rules — and Pathfinder showed consistency.

Why fans should care

Golf fans love drama, and this match had it: slick greens, smart play, and a standout individual effort that didn’t quite tip the scales. It’s the kind of contest that tightens a squad’s focus and gives the other side lessons to chew on at practice. Expect both teams to come back hungrier next time.
