Oak Harbor High School senior Steven Timm jumped past five golfers on the second day of the District 1 3A boys golf tournament to earn a trip to the state finals.

The state tournament is Wednesday and Thursday, May 27 and 28, at the Canyon Lake Golf Course in Kennewick.

The top 17 finishers at district qualified for state, and Timm sat in 20th with an 86 after the first round Monday, May 18, at Marysville’s Battle Creek Golf Course.

Timm fired an 81 Tuesday to leap to 15th.

“He played really well the second day,” coach David Smith said. “He didn’t make any big mistakes and just had a lot of grind-out pars.”

Things didn’t go nearly as well for senior Mason Dieter. Dieter was in sixth with a 79 after the opening round but ballooned to a 92 the second day and missed the cut by two strokes.

“Mason had one really bad hole, and I think he had a tough time coming back from that,” Smith said. “Then he just had some unlucky breaks during the round.”

Three other Oak Harbor seniors were within five strokes of the top 17 after round one but couldn’t rally to secure a state berth.

Raiden Poe shot 174 (87, 87), Ben Fikse 177 (89, 88) and Aaron Kelley 178 (90, 88). The cut off for state was 169.

“Raiden also had some tough holes but played well otherwise,” Smith said. “Ben and Aaron both improved their rounds the second day but just couldn’t get it quite low enough.”
