Men's Golf Takes 7th at
Point Loma Invitational |
|
Competing in a field of 17 schools, the Cougar men's golf team has finished in 7th place at the Point Loma/Smee Builders Invitational. Scott Conway was the top Cougar, tying for 21st. The three-round tournament concluded on Tuesday with the Cougars posting 3 solid-but-not spectacular rounds. On the par 71 6,834-yard course, the team got off to a bit of a rough start with a first round (+24) 308, but quickly settled down to shoot back-to-back 301's in the final two rounds. So far this season, the primary theme for the team has been top-to-bottom consistency, and this week's tournament was no exception. All five Cougar golfers finished between 21st and 40th place in the field of over 80 golfers. Conway led the way, shooting three solid rounds (75 - 76- 74) to finish at +12 (225). He was followed closely by Brandon Scolman, who tied for 26th with a +14 (227). Scolman's second-round 71 was the best for any Cougar during the tournament. Rounding out the squad were Matt Determan, Markus Wendel, and Kyle Anderson. Determan, who has been excellent so far this season, recovered from a first round 80 to shoot rounds of 75 and 76. As a team, the Cougars edged out Grand Canyon U. by one stroke to take 7th. The tournament was won by Wayland Baptist, who shot 874. CSU Stanislaus' Eric Justesen won the individual title with an even-par 213 total. CSUSM will next take the course at Diablo Grand Country Club on March 17th. |
