MSHS’s Earle signs with KWC
Muhlenberg South senior Will Earle signed a letter of intent to play college
golf at Kentucky Wesleyan College May 17 at South High. Will is shown
with his parents Terry and Jenny Earle and Muhlenberg South boys golf
team coach Nathan Phelps. “Will has improved greatly over the past year
and his success is evidence of what hard work, sacrifice, and dedication
leads to,” Phelps said. Will has played golf for South High for the past
four years but it was in his last season that he leaped from playing the
fifth spot to the team’s number one player. Last summer Will played on
the Kentucky Jr Pepsi Tour and was invited to participate in their Tournament
of Champions reserved for the top golfers on the tour. Will finished the
tournament in third after leading all golfers the first day of competition.
His success carried over into the high school golf season as he won the
Dawson Springs Invitational Tournament at Pennyrile State Park with an
impressive 2-under par 70 and a memorable Double-Eagle from 235 yards
away on a par 5. “It should be inspirational for all our young athletes
to see what Will has accomplished. Here is a young man that dedicated
his entire summer to getting better and that is exactly what happened.
I expect the impact Will had on our team to last long after he goes to
college and am thankful for everything he has brought to this program”
said Phelps. (Leader-News Photo/Rita Dukes)
