Aug. 17—GRAND FORKS — East Grand Forks' Brody Johnson will start his freshman golf season next week at Minnesota-Crookston with some momentum.
Johnson continued a strong summer on the course by winning the Grand Forks All-City Men's Championship at the Grand Forks Country Club on Sunday. He was tied for third after Day 1 at King's Walk with a 69 and followed up with a 68 for a two-day total of 137 — edging former Grand Forks Red River and UND golfer Nick Schaefer by two strokes.
Johnson is just 18 years old and played the all-city event for the third time. He finished in a tie for fourth last season.
"It's definitely a confidence booster," Johnson said of his summer ahead of starting at UMC. "There's nothing given to you in this sport and still have to work super hard. There's going to be 10 of us at Crookston, and I think the top six go to the first tournament. It's going to be a grind, but I definitely want to be playing in that first tournament. I know where my game's at, and now I see how the results go."
After Day 1 in the All-City event, Johnson was two shots behind Day 1 leader Matt Norby and one stroke behind Schaefer.
