After graduation, Christine Fields is off to San Diego State

   After graduation, Christine Fields is off to matriculate at San Diego State. First, though, she has one last high school golf season.

You wouldn’t know it from The Everett Herald, but Christine Fields had a pretty darn good day Thursday.

While the big city papers overlooked Coupeville High School’s one-woman golf team (again), her opponents certainly took notice.

The Wolf senior, kicking off a bid for a fourth straight trip to state, finished tied for second in a field of 11 duffers who teed off at Whidbey’s Useless Bay Golf and Country Club.

Fields carded a 47 while playing nine holes, which translates to a 25 in modified Stableford scoring. She tied with South Whidbey’s Rosie Portillo, just behind the day’s medalist, Falcon Tara Moore, who recorded a 27.

South Whidbey hammered Cedarcrest 112-72 in the team competition.

As the only CHS golfer, Fields trains and travels with South Whidbey while repping Coupeville’s red and black in competition.

Christine Fields, certified superstar.

Christine Fields, certified superstar.

No fade.

Coupeville High School junior Christine Fields held onto her spot from Day 1, and strolled into the clubhouse at the end of the 1A state girls’ golf championships in fifth place.

Fields, who shot an 84 Wednesday at Lake Spanaway Golf Course, followed that up with an 89 Thursday to finish with a two-day total of 173.

Her fifth-place finish was a personal best, following an 8th place finish as a freshman and a 15th place showing as a sophomore.

Lauryn Keating of Elma tore up the course Thursday with a 73, to catch and pass defending champ Bree Wandersheid of Goldendale.

Down by two strokes entering the final round, Keating won the title by a single stroke, 151-152.

Rosie Portillo of South Whidbey, who Fields traveled and trained with during the regular season, as Coupeville doesn’t have a golf program of its own, finished 6th, two shots off of the Lone Wolf.

The Cascade Conference had an especially strong showing, as Fields and Portillo were joined in the top seven by King’s deadly duo of Hannah Roh (4th) and Charis Tsai (7th).

The Knights beat out Seattle Academy and Woodland for the team title.

Even Christine Fields slightly off days on the golf course are pretty good.

The Coupeville High School junior described her performance Tuesday at Cedarcrest Golf Club in Lakewood as “a bad day,” yet she carded the third best score out of the 11 varsity golfers competing.

Her score of 23 points over nine holes, using modified Stableford scoring, put her hot on the heels of Lakewood’s Hailey Duitsman (24) and not that far off medalist Rosie Portillo (26) of South Whidbey.

The Falcons, who Fields trains and travels with, beat their hosts 88-77 in the team scoring race. With only the Lone Wolf, Coupeville has no shot in the team battle.
