Pensacola-area golf regional results as Gulf Breeze earns state berths
Gulf Breeze boys golf captured its first regional title since 2016 and was the only local team to automatically qualify for the state championship.
Since October, Gulf Breeze boys golf has been thriving at the Fort Walton Beach Golf Course Pines Course, winning their first district title since 2014 and their first regional title since 2016. At the Region 1-2A championship on November 3, Gulf Breeze claimed the championship with a 13-stroke margin over Suwannee. The team's quartet of Wilmer Mitchell, Blake Norris, Grant Corbin, and Rylan Richardson combined to shoot a 15-over par 299.
Suwannee's Ty Hurst was the top individual performer, scoring a four-under par 67. With this victory, Gulf Breeze earned automatic berths for both the 2A boys and girls state championships. Senior Michelle Burt qualified for the girls' championship after winning a three-hole playoff at Quail Heights Country Club on November 3. In the boys' championship, Burt's team competed against five other teams, with the top two teams and individuals advancing to the state championship.
