South Sevier High has only been competing in girls golf for five years, and after Tuesday’s season-best round at the 2A state tournament, the Rams now have a state title feather in their cap.

South Sevier shot a 361 team score to narrowly edge region foe Grand by four strokes at Mountain View Golf Course in West Jordan to clinch that inaugural 2A championship.

“Today, I reminded them, ‘just let the club do the work and be kind to yourself.’ Because sometimes it’s hard when you’re out there and you’re in your head. Most important is just let the club do the work, remember your one, twos, and threes, as we talk about. Just to keep that mentality and keep it easy,” said South Sevier coach Dorianne Christensen.

She said all six of her golfers shot season-best rounds at the state tournament.

Cove View Golf Course in Richfield is South Sevier’s home course, and coach Christensen said a strong junior league program at the course has definitely helped grow the high school team in recent years.

Richfield’s girls golf team has a long history of success with seven state titles in the past 14 seasons, and nearby South Sevier just has its first title.

“We encourage younger kids to come out and play in the junior leagues. And then we also have etiquette courses that they get cheap golf, so we bring in that as well. We just try to bring them in as young as we can, so we have a really good junior league program that builds a foundation for us as coaches,” said Christensen.
