Persistent rain forced the cancellation of the second day of the North Dakota state girls golf tournament Tuesday.

Wahpeton golfer Tawny Irwin finished the tournament after shooting a 96 on Monday.

Irwin, a sophomore, played in her first state tournament.

Laura Kraft of Jamestown won medalist honors after she shot a 71 at the Bois de Sioux Golf Course in Wahpeton.

Wahpeton coach Jeff Ralph said, "Tawny finished the day right in the middle of the pack. She didn’t feel like she was striking the ball as well as she has in the past. But she did putt pretty well."

In the team competition, Minot won with a total of 325.

Fargo-Shanley was second with 332 and Bismarck Century finished third after a round of 339.

Irwin was the only Wahpeton golfer to qualify for the tournament.

Coach Ralph said, "This has been a great experience for Tawny and she has learned so much about competitive golf. Of course she would like to play better right now, but the experience is going to be crucial to her success in the future.”

The final round of the tournament was to be played Tuesday. But because of the weather, awards were given out based on their one-day scores.

Top 5 Team Scores:

Minot 325

Fargo-Shanley 332

Bismarck Century 339

G.F. Red River 359

Dickinson 361
