Eric Byrne made the cut with an 82 as Pinkerton placed third as a team at the New Hampshire Division 1 golf championship. Bishop Guertin was first as a team. The top local placed was Londonderry's Curtis Harper with an 81.

Defending individual state champion Connor Greenleaf shot a one-over-par 73 at Beaver Meadow Golf Course in Concord to lead Windham golf to this year's Division 2 state championship. Greenleaf, who usually shoots a two-under-par, actually shot a 64 on the same course a couple weeks ago. So yesterday wasn't his best but good enough to earn the Day 1 medalist spot.   "He started out not so good," Windham coach Ken Bourassa said. "His putting was not as good as it usually is. He bogeyed a couple holes on the front nine." But Greenleaf was stellar on the back nine. As a team, the Jaguars shot a 395. St. Thomas was the Division 2 runner-up, shooting 407. Team scores are finalized on the first day. The second day of play will be tomorrow and it determines the division's best individual golfer. The top 24 players from the first day made the cut.   Greenleaf is three shots ahead of the Day 1 second-place finisher, who is from Portsmouth. "He usually plays better on the second day," Bourassa said. That certainly was the case last year when Greenleaf prevailed despite entering the second four shots behind three other golfers. "He was on fire," Bourassa said about Greenleaf's second-day effort last year. "The kid is good. He's really good." James McKee (78), Adam Dolan (80), Patrick Higgins (81), Matt Howard (83) and Eric Butler (83) all advanced to the second round. Butler is Windham's No. 8 player, so Windham's depth certainly came into play yesterday. "Connor can't do it alone," Bourassa said. "We have great scorers."

Windham golf completed its third straight 20-0 regular season by drubbing Pembroke and Kennett. The Jags shot a 178 led by Connor Greenleaf (33, 3-under par), James McKee (34) and Jack Grubbs (36).

Jack Grubbs took medalist honors with a 36 and Connor Greenleaf and James McKee carded 37s as Windham rolled to the easy tri-meet win to improve to 14-0.

Windham's golf team improved to 12-0 with a tri-meet win over Sanborn and Milford. Connor Greenleaf was medalist with a 34.

Connor Greenleaf continued to dominat New Hampshire but shooting a 34 for medalist honors as Windham (192 points) bested Sanborn (225) and Milford (246)

Windham's golfers were red-hot yesterday in a tri-meet 180-215-242 romp over Coe-Brown and Milford. The Jaguars finished with a school record score of 180, which is the lowest score in Division 2 this year. All five Jaguars shot a 38 or less with Connor Greenleaf and Jack Grubbs sharing medalist honors with a sizzling 33.
