Kirkwood’s Ben Crancer entered the day a single shot behind 18 hole leader, Corey Connell of Cape Central in the Class 4A State Championship.  After near misses the past two seasons, Crancer will have to settle for a 2nd place finish in his final bid at a High School State Championship.  The Kirkwood senior will be teeing up for Texas A&M next year and likely in the mix for a NCAA Championship with a thriving Aggies golf program.

Entering the final round, Jason Huska of Rockhurst, was tied with Crancer one shot back of the 18 hole leader.  Unlike Crancer who couldn’t muster a better round on Tuesday, Huska was able to improve on his first round 71 by a shot for a 3 shot victory.  It was double the pleasure for Huska as Rockhurst High School also captured the team competition with scores of 301-299 for a 24 shot victory over Blue Springs South High School.

Poplar Bluff High School finished in 3rd place with a team score of 625.  2011 State Champion, Mike Wooten, led Francis Howell High School to a 4th place team finish.  Wooten improved on a first round 77 with a second round 73 to finish 11th individually.

DeSmet High School finished 6th with a team score of 641.  Making their first appearance in the State Championship, Rockwood Summit High School finished 7th at 642, followed by Timberland at 644 and Nixa at 674.

PINEHURST, N.C. (June 15, 2012) — The third time was the charm for Ben Crancer in the 40th Southern Junior Championship. After solid play in the tournament the past two years, the 18-year-old, Texas A&M-bound Crancer, from Kirkwood, MO., won it Friday on the Country Club of North Carolina’s Dogwood Course.

But not without a stiff fight from 15-year-old Pinehurst phenom Joshua Martin, who dogged Crancer all the way to the final green. The two had been the co-leaders following the first two rounds and Crancer poked his nose in front with a 10-foot birdie putt on the third hole, as the rest of the field fell away to leave a virtual 2-man race for the crown. Remarkably, the two matched scores for the next 14 holes and went to the par-five 18th still separated by that same, single stroke.

Both players reached the green in regulation, but had long, uphill putts. Crancer faced a 96-footer and figured he would have to get down in two to seal the championship. He cozied it inside two feet for a near-certain par. Martin ran his approach putt six feet past and missed coming back to leave Crancer a 2-shot victory. Crancer’s closing 71 gave him a 6-under-par 210 total and earned an automatic berth in next month’s 106th Southern Amateur in Little Rock.

“I think that’s the longest putt I’ve ever faced,” said Crancer. “I’m glad to win over Josh. He’s a good player.”

In the 13-14 age division, Brett Barron of Suwanee, GA., posted a 219 total for a whopping 7-stroke victory.
