A par-3 on hole No. 17, Umbrell’s final tee shot came out around 94 yards. Reaching for a pitching wedge, the junior swung the club at half-power toward the green sloping right of the tee box.

Bang. Off the pin, in the hole.

“It felt unreal,” Umbrell said. “When it hit the pin, I didn’t really process that it’d gone in until my assistant coach, Stephens, started screaming at me and yelling and jumping in excitement. It still doesn’t really feel like it actually happened.”

Umbrell ended her day right there, tying teammate Whitni Johnson, daughter to Lakers coach Brett Johnson, with 78 and securing a first-place finish for Bonneville (323), evading runner-up Woods Cross (324) by a single stroke with the help of the timely ace. Umbrell and Johnson tied for third individually.

Fitting too, that Umbrell would share such a late-season accomplishment with Johnson, who helped usher her into the game as a freshman. First individually in region play, Johnson and the Lakers entered the week fresh off a third-place finish at their previous tournament.

Umbrell, who’d played golf recreationally with her father, Craig, and her sister, Kate, growing up, said chasing Johnson throughout nearly three seasons has grown her game exponentially.

“I wasn’t always planning on doing high school golf but having Whitni on the team’s made me wanna go more, just because she’s been playing her whole life and I always wanted to try to be as good as I can to impress her,” Umbrell said.

On a team with zero seniors, Bonneville has developed its varsity roster over three seasons. Umbrell’s one of those names that showed up, and stuck, with the program’s training regiment since Day 1.

“We’ve been running open gyms for like the last three or four seasons prior to the season starting, and Anna just showed up — I knew her as a friend of Whitni’s — prior to her freshman season and I remember (Umbrell) having a beautiful swing,” Brett Johnson said.

“We would not be anywhere we are without Anna, no question.”

Tuesday’s finish, and another second-place team finish at Sun Hills Golf Course on Thursday, mean Bonneville — currently No. 2 program in 5A — will send at least six golfers to the state tournament from May 20-21 at Soldier Hollow Golf Course in Midway.

Umbrell, Johnson, sophomores Addy Stranger and Brynlee Needham. and junior Adi Stone all broke into the top 10 at Crane Field on Tuesday. Stranger and Needham tied for seventh with 82; Needham and Stone shared ninth place, each carding 85.

Bonneville’s first-place finish at Crane Field, and runner-up finish (340) behind Skyline (334) at Sun Hills on Thursday, leaves Brett Johnson in a faithful place watching his team navigate makeup dates in a tight race for the postseason in late April.

“It’s hard. There’s a little bit of burnout I can see at times but they’re doing really well as far as state standings,” Brett Johnson said. “We’re doing a good job handling it so far and honestly I’m feeling optimistic that we’ve got a really good shot at state this year with an awesome group.”

Three more Northern Utah schools made pushes Tuesday, too. Biting at Bonneville and WX, Box Elder placed third overall behind sophomore Olivia White and freshman Mia Marx. White and Marx each carded 80 and tied for fourth individually.

Roy finished sixth as a team, led by Chloe Bardley-Duran in 12th place with 91. Clearfield, led by Amalie Vachtova (96, 16th), finished seventh overall and Northridge, led by Zayda Ukena (93, 13th) ended the round eighth.

The final Region 5 tournament, May 6 at Glen Eagle Golf Course, is set for an 8 a.m. tee.

Poll claims two rounds in Region 13

Morgan High senior Jane Poll won both rounds of the Region 13 tournament, beginning Tuesday with 71 at Glen Eagle and concluding Wednesday with 76 at Schneiter’s Bluff, adding two more victories to her resume heading into the 3A state tournament.

Morgan (644) finished first overall, followed by Union (732), Grantsville (736), Ogden (743), Ben Lomond (826), and South Summit (908).

Seven golfers, Poll included, from Ogden, Ben Lomond and Morgan produced top-10 performances on both courses. Morgan freshman Sophie DeMond (76, 86) placed second and third respectively; junior Kennedy Benson (87, 93) placed seventh individually in both rounds, and Macie Bell (100, 89) tied for fifth in the final round, improving by 11 strokes on Day 2.

Ben Lomond senior Presley Hester (81, 92) placed fourth and sixth, respectively; Ogden junior Kacie Payne (82, 89) placed fifth in both rounds, tying with Bell on Day 2.
