Holden won the event by one stroke in his first victory in a high school tournament.
“That was a great victory for Holden,” association director and coach Stuart Beckwith said. “He played the Class 5A state championship team from Lake Travis and several other 4A and 5A teams in a very strong field. Beating the district golfers from Lampasas and Gatesville was very impressive. Holden has worked hard to improve his game. A great win.”
Other teams competing included Marble Falls, Leander Rouse, Brownwood and Georgetown.
Burnet senior Lauren Beckwith, the director’s daughter, earned a third-place finish on the girls side.

The was the last association event for the fall golf season. The golfers will be ready for a strong showing in the spring campaign, Beckwith said.
