Rochester 168, Peru 185, Wabash 191 (Wednesday): Sophomore Isaac Heishman shot a bogey-free 35 over the back nine at Round Barn Golf Club at Mill Creek Wednesday to help the Zebras beat Peru and Wabash in a three-way dual.

Davis Renie added a 39, Ashton Musselman had a 46, Brady Morgan carded a 48, and Brevin Nicholson notched a 55 to complete the Rochester scorecard.

Heishman birdied the par-5 12th hole and parred the other eight holes. He had never broken 40 in a high school match prior to Wednesday.

“Isaac played very well tonight,” Rochester coach Mason Heyde said. “I don’t think he’s ever carded anything in the 30s, and he actually went under par with a 35 tonight. All pars, one birdie, and he was just really steady.”

Renie birdied both par-3s on the back – Nos. 10 and 16 – but also had back-to-back double bogeys on Nos. 17 and 18.

Morgan also birdied No. 12.

Along with Nicholson, Morgan is seeing his first extended taste of varsity play.

“A lot of guys are starting to find a good groove, especially now that it’s warmer,” Heyde said. “A couple struggled tonight, but we’re going to hit the range tomorrow and figure out a few of those issues. But another good score tonight. We could have gone pretty low tonight but still won the match, so I’m happy with how they played.”
