Five members of the Class AA state champion Pine Island/Zumbrota-Mazeppa boys golf team are on the inaugural Post Bulletin All-Area Team. That group is headlined by the PB Boys Golfer of the Year, senior Anders Larson.
Jordana Windhorst Knudsen and Anders Larson share many traits when it comes to golf, the most notable of which is a team-first attitude. That's a big reason why both of their teams captured state titles last week. Now, they're our Post Bulletin All-Area Golfers of the Year.
