Since the inception of the Riverhead girls golf program in 2010, no player has ever qualified for the New York State tournament. Though they\u2019ve come close<\/a> \u2014 even missing out by just one stroke \u2014 nobody has been able to break through. That all changed last Tuesday at Middle Island Country Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not one, but two Riverhead golfers qualified<\/a> for the New York State championship at Wild Wood Country Club in Rush, N.Y., on June 8. Angelina Gust, a senior, and Madison Marshak, a freshman, are the first Riverhead girls to qualify, finishing third and seventh, respectively, in the Suffolk County tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter how they finished last year, I knew they both had a shot at qualifying this year,\u201d Riverhead head coach Steve Failla said. \u201cWe knew there weren\u2019t any dramatic changes that needed to be made. We\u2019ve been working more on the mental part of the game and the approach than anything else. These girls have worked their butts off, and it\u2019s showing now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year after finishing 10th and 11th, just missing out on the top nine placing to make it to states, both girls came out with a determination to get through to the championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor me, it has always been nerves,\u201d Gust said. \u201cThis year I was finally calm. I focused on staying in the moment and enjoying it. I was confident out there. Especially since it\u2019s my senior year. This was my last shot at this. It was something I wanted to do since I started golfing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gust posted an 85 the first day at the county tournament, which instantly put her right among the top of the competitors. But that didn\u2019t ease her mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had good rounds before,\u201d Gust said. \u201cIn this tournament, it\u2019s about being consistent, and I knew it didn\u2019t matter where I was placing after day one. I needed to have a good day two.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Down the stretch, the senior really locked, notching two birdies in the last handful of holes. In the back nine holes, Gust scored 39, which equaled her best nine-hole round this season. Her 81 on the scoreboard for the second round secured third place in the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had a good feel about where I was on the second day,\u201d Gust said. \u201cI just had to manage the stress, and I was happy when it was all over. I was super happy with how I played.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the group just behind her was Marshak. Though they weren\u2019t playing together, they kept an eye on one another, quietly rooting for the other to play well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though Marshak is only a freshman, she\u2019s been on this stage before. She\u2019s been on varsity since seventh grade, and last year, she finished in 10th place and was named the alternate for states. One less stroke over the two rounds of play would have earned her ninth place and a trip to states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI practiced so much last summer to prepare for this,\u201d Marshak said. \u201cI did a lot of tournaments. I just worked on scoring and tried to improve all parts of my game. I came into county\u2019s confident this year, and that confidence is everything in golf.\u201d After shooting an 88 in the first round, Marshak cut strokes off her game in the final round, registering an 84. A string of pars and a 40 in the final nine helped secure her a spot. \u201cI mean, that\u2019s how you finish a tournament,\u201d Failla said. \u201cA 39 and a 40 are you kidding me? The best golfers show up on the final day, and I can confidently say we have two of the best in the county right here in Riverhead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gust and Marshak will join fellow Blue Wave Colby Baran<\/a>, who qualified for states on the boy\u2019s side in the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnly 18 high school golfers in Suffolk County are going to states,\u201d Failla said. \u201cThree of them are from Riverhead. Let that sink in. Our community supports us, the golf courses around here support us and our studentathletes have stepped up to the plate. This is a big step for us as a program, and we hope to continue building on this success for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
