Cielak wins annual Libby Invitational
<p>Jonny Cielak third stroke on No. 1, a 475-yard par 5.</p>
Libby junior Jonny Cielak hit the driving range Thursday after practice, one day before his home tournament. After working through an adjustment at Cabinet View Country Club, Cielak told Libby Coach Dann Rohrer that he felt ready.
There are more possible adjustments available to a golfer than there are lost Titlists in every golf course nationwide, but whatever change the young golfer made was correct. Cielak earned first in the Libby Invitational with a round of 77.
“He has a strong all-around game,” Rohrer said of his top golfer. “He hits it plenty long enough and handled the day well.”
Libby’s Lily Feeback earned third. Rohrer said it was the first time in more than 30 years of coaching that he had a boy and girl — Cielak and Feeback — both record an eagle.
