ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Colorado State men's golf moved up five spots from the first 18 in the afternoon round and is currently tied for fourth after 36 holes of the William H. Tucker Intercollegiate, Sept. 22. The two-day, 54-hole tournament, hosted by the University of New Mexico, is being played at UNM's Championship Course (Par 72 – 7,556 yards) in Albuquerque, N.M.
Playing in their second tournament in just five days, the Rams had rough patches in the morning round, shooting a 7-over 295 to sit in ninth place. However, the conditions worsened in the afternoon with increased wind and rain, but CSU held tough and improved one shot in the second 18 to move up five places to a tie for fourth at 13-over 589 with Arizona. The 294 was the second-lowest score in the afternoon, one shot behind leader UNLV's 293 that gave the Rebels a two-round total of 1-under 575. Washington is in second at 5-over 581, followed by BYU at 10-over 586, three shots ahead of the Rams and Wildcats. Host New Mexico and Mountain West-foe San Diego State are tied for sixth, three shots back of CSU.
"Today was a very typical day at the Tucker, very challenging," head coach Christian Newton said.. "We did a great job in some tough conditions. The morning wasnt quite up to our expectations, but the afternoon round showed how good this group can be."
Sophomore AJ Ott is the leader for the Rams, as he shot a 1-under 71 in the morning followed by a 2-over 74 in the afternoon and is tied for seventh at 1-over 145. Ott had a team-high eight birdies on the day. Senior Max Oelfke is one shot back at 2-over 146 following a 1-under 71 in the afternoon that included an eagle and a pair of birdies, putting him in a tie for 14th. Junior Jake Staiano is at 3-over 147, tied for 18th, having posted an even-par 72 in the morning 18. Freshman Parathakorn Suyasri is tied for 50th at 7-over 151, with senior Colton Yates tied for 72nd at 11-over 155. Arizona's George Cunningham is the 36-hole individual leader at 5-under 139, one shot ahead of UNLV's Shintaro Ban.
The Rams will start on holes 4-7 in tomorrow's shotgun start at 7:45 a.m., playing with New Mexico, San Diego State and Cal State Fullerton.
