Joseph Dendy’s daylong birdie bonanza boosted the Brandon senior above a slew of feisty competitors Thursday at Clear Creek Golf Course.

Dendy netted seven birdies in his round and finished with a 1-under par 71 to win the Warren Central Boys Invitational. Dendy beat St. Aloysius’ Channing Curtis by two shots.

Curtis was one of three Warren County golfers to finish in the top six in the six-team, 37-player tournament. His teammate, Gabriel Riveros, was fourth with a 76 and Vicksburg High’s Austin Neihaus tied for sixth with a 79.

Northwest Rankin teammates J.P. Dumas and Brandon Blakeney finished third and fifth, respectively. Dumas shot a 74 and Blakeney a 77 to lead the Cougars to the team championship. They totaled 316 shots as a team, seven better than runner-up Brandon.

St. Al was third in the team standings with a 358. Warren Central and Vicksburg both shot 402 to tie for fourth, and Pearl was sixth at 406.

Warren Central’s top golfer was Liam Hopson, who shot 90.
