Corvallis’s senior golfer Brady Powell had a round for the ages on Tuesday, August 19 at the Canyon River Golf Club in Missoula in a duel meet with Polson. Powell shot a course record 60 to have a 12 under par round that included three eagles and seven birdies – Powell was 8 under on the Par-5s alone for the day.
Powell followed this up by shooting a 7 under 65 to win the Ronan Invite on Thursday, August 21. Powell out-gunned 2024 Class A state champion Max Milton of Polson in both of these events, beating him by eight strokes at Canyon River and two strokes in Ronan.

As the 2025 golf season gets underway, Powell looks to be the golfer to beat in Class A. Powell took 8th at state as a junior in 2024, 2nd as a sophomore in 2023, and 9th as a freshman in 2022.
