FINAL TOURNAMENT RESULTS

Fort Collins, CO - Joshua Matz provided the most consistent play for the Bears all tournament as helped lead the team to a 9th place finish at the Ram Masters Invitational. Matz shot a one-over par 71 during the final round which ended with 10 straight pars. The junior ended at one-over par overall, good for a 12th place individual finish.

Andrew Romano has been the most consistent player so far this young season, but he suffered his worst round of the year carding an eight-over par 78. The senior still managed to finish eight-over par and 36th overall.

Sam Marley was unable to record a birdie during the final round, but did collect 14 pars for a round 76. The senior would finish the tournament just one stroke back of Romano at nine-over par and in 42nd place. Marley led all competitors with 40 pars, two more than any other player in the field.

Coby Welch got himself back on track Tuesday recording a couple birdies along with 12 pars to finish with a final round of 72 (+2). Welch was 14-over par overall to put him in 66th place.

Coaches Comments:
Head Coach, Roger Prenzlow
"The Bears had a tough day today, we had a couple of mistakes early in the round and never seemed to recover. Joshua Matz was solid all tournamnet, Andrew did a lot of good things throughout, Sam played a great second round and Coby looked more like himself today. As a team we beat some nice programs and remain undefeated against Big Sky opponents. This week we need to work on staying focused throughout entire rounds."
