Madilyn Brakke led the Pierre Governor golf team to a fourth place finish in Watertown on Tuesday as Pierre shot a 369 with Brakke placing 11th on the day.
Brakke shot an 88 on the day as teammate Ellie Jo Simpson was a shot behind her at 89. Morgan Lisburg finished at 93 and Haldey Hart and Hattie Baldwin were both at 99 to finish the day.

Aberdeen shot a 323 on the day, eight shots better than Harrisburg but 28 shots ahead of Watertown in third place. Pierre finished 36 shots off the lead for the day. Reese Jansa of Harrisburg won the individual day with a two over par 74, three shots ahead of Bryn Huber of Huron. Brakke, in 11th, was 14 shots behind the winner.
