There were multiple reasons for all the smiles from the Garden City High School girls’ golf team at the end of Thursday’s home invitational at Southwind Golf and Dining.First, the Buffs zoomed past their two Western Athletic Conference opponents – Hays and Dodge City – to not only win the invitational by a whopping 42 strokes, but in the process completed a perfect 5-for-5 WAC schedule to finish with 25 points to complete the dethroning of four-time defending champ Hays.Then, sophomore Brooke Savolt put together her career best tournament score, shooting a sizzling 3-over-par 74 on the tough Southwind layout to win the individual medalist by two shots over Amelia Bowles of Atwood-Rawlins County (76).Additionally, for a little icing on the cake, Ailynn Anderson (85), Breckyn Lucas (93) and Megan Burr (98) -- sophomores all – finished fourth, fifth and sixth in the individual standings, respectively.
