It took just 143 strokes for Juanita High School junior Frank Garber to win his second straight WIAA Class 3A Boys Golf State Championship on May 21-22 at Tri-Mountain Golf Course in Ridgefield.

Garber shot a 70 on the first day and 73 on the second day of the tournament, finishing one-under par.

This year’s victory came with a playoff win against friend and Interlake senior, Patrick Sato. The two players frequently play golf together in their free time, including a practice round last weekend at Tri-Mountain prior to the tournament.

Garber is a nationally-ranked junior golfer and has verbally committed to play golf at University of Washington during the fall of 2014. Patrick Sato will play golf at Seattle University beginning fall of this year.
