Humboldt High golf standout Cade Birdsell, fresh off an 11th-place finish in the recent Class 3A state tournament, fired an 11-under-par 97 to win the 75th annual George Lee Memorial Golf Tournament at Humboldt Country Club on Saturday, June 6.
Birdsell shot rounds of 34-32-31--97 on the par 36 Humboldt course. Jaxon Heinz was runner-up with a 102. Cade's older brother, Christian, was third with a 104. Austin Morrow of Fort Dodge was fourth with 109.
It is believed to be the lowest score ever in the tournament, which began in the 1950s and is named after six-time champion George Lee.
