Playing in his first ever regional golf tournament, Kaine Stevens of NVHS won it.

Butterfly helps North Vermilion sophomore win regional golf title

Stevens used where butterfly landed as a mark to sank 20-foot putt

Kaine Stevens needed help to win the regional golf tournament, and he found help when a butterfly landed on the green of the final hole.
Stevens needed to make a 20-foot putt to win the regional tournament.  
As the tension mounted, Stevens was grappling with the best approach to read the putt. Suddenly, a butterfly materialized on the putting green, seemingly out of thin air, adding an unexpected twist to the already nail-biting situation.  
Interpreting the butterfly’s arrival as a celestial sign, Stevens felt a surge of emotion. He believed it was his late grandmother, Linda Stevens, guiding him through the butterfly’s delicate presence.
“She loved butterflies,” Stevens said on Thursday. “She was helping me with the putt.”
Stevens aimed where the butterfly landed, and he sank the putt and won the tournament.
He shot a one-day score of 76 and now moves on to the state golf tournament to be held in New Iberia.
