SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Northern Colorado men's golf finished its weekend at The Goodwin with hits best round of the weekend shooting a 294. Joshua Matz and Sam Marley led the team, each firing off one-over 72s. As a team, UNC finished 25th (899) in the loaded field that included winner, Oklahoma (825), California (831) and host Stanford (836).
Matz earned the best individual finish for the Bears with a 223 to be tied for 92nd. He put together his best round of the tournament on Saturday with a 72. Starting on the back nine, he birdied the par 3 11th to begin on a strong note. He shot an even-par 35 on the first nine of his round, bogeying the 16th hole. On the front nine, Matz played even golf except for the fourth hole which he bogeyed.
Marley, also put together his best round of the tournament with a 72 to match his teammate. He birdied the third, fourth and 16th hole, but bogeyed four holes. For the tournament, he finished two strokes behind Matz overall with a 225 and third overall for the team. Colby Welch shot a 224 finishing between Matz and Marley.
Prenzlow's Take
"It was good to see the Bears put a competitive round on the scoreboard today! Although we do not like our final finishing spot some things came to light here and we know what to work on before the next two events! Sam and Joshua played well today shooting 72 and really the others all had a chance to play well. We need to start taking care of the little things throughout our rounds and hit critical shots better. All in all, today these guys stepped up after playing two poor rounds and played a respectable round."
What's Ahead?
UNC will now be off until El Macero Classic hosted by UC Davis in Davis, California April 13-15.
